protesting against the formation of Tenants
Defense League to succeed the Land League,
he says: 1.-The only organization any longer
possible is that the tenants should meet
upon the estates where they are called on
to pay rent, and should decide upon a
common line of action recommended in the
manifesto of the executive. The time is now

Government Land Courts and the principles
of the League. We have used our resources
to support those who stand by cur principles,
but we WON'T aid any tenant on those estates
where fellow tenants on the same estates ale
unmindful of those principles. We have,
therefore, directed those in charge of the
relief funds to refuse assistance to
tenants on any estate where the rest of the

any number of months or years
that may be necessary, SO long as the Irish
people, whom it is impossible to imprison,
stand by the lessons We taught them during
two years." The Government is concerned
