ened-Curley's Trial Commenced.
DUBLIN, April l6.-The inquiry made bv
Clifford Lloyd into the plot to murder in
the CusEeen district, in connection with
which number Of arrests have been
made, has led to remarkable disclo-
sures. The firstcMe to the existence
OF a conspiracy was obtained by the
confession Of a man named Tubridv.
who was wounded while engaged
III an attack on an Objectionable
party by mOonlighters. Tubridy has given
iull particulars in court of the murder Of
man named Kennedy by assassins who
were brought from distance to perform
the deed. Tubridy states that he belonged
to secret society in which he was
obliged by threats to continue. In
January, 1882, the society was re-
organized with the special object
OF killing landlords, agents and spies.
The local leader was man
named MacInernery. He introduced to
the members a stranger from Dublin. who
said he had travelled through other coun-
tries and formed societies. He stated that
the Land League would supply the society
with arms, and promised that the League
would pay MacInernery any expenses in
Cured by men who were sent out of their
districts. He also said that members
might have to 90 to various parts of Ire
land, and eventO England, to shoot land
lords and agents. The name of the new
society was |'The Invincibles. or the Vigi-
lants.''
STRIKE AMONG THE CONSTABLES.
An effort is being made to effect a re-
neWal of the strike of the Irish police. A
circular has been addressed from Belfast
TO all the stations throughout the country,
advising and eXhorting the men to strike.
/. and urging that they would be justified
III their action by the long delay of the
commission in publishing the result of its
inquiry into the grievances of which the
men complained, and which have not
been adjusted. The agitation among the
men seems to have alarmed the authOri-
ties, as circular was issued from the
castle yesterday to them not to act rash
ly, and promising that the conclusions ar
rived at by the commission will be pub
lished Immediately.
At the parade of the constabulary force
in Cork to-day it was intimated to the men
that the government was prepared for any
emergency, and that any one joining in
the present agitation would forthwith be
dismissed from the force.
