Boycotting by the Irish League.
New YORK, August 27th.-A Hcrald s
Dublin special says; There is an extra
ordinary state of affairs at Rathkeale,
County Limerick. For the past few days
respectable traders have been subjected to
annoyance by the intimidating influence of
the National League, in consequence of
having supplied bread and provisions to
persons who had incurred the displeasure
OF the Branch League. A respectable hotel
keeper IS one of the severest sufferers by
this system of boycotting. So great is the
influence of the League that the owner of
the establishment finds it difficult to get
any bread or meat. Placards are posted
holding respectable people up to the pub
lie odium because they do not comply with
the mandates of the League. A vigilance
committee has been established whose
business is to watch traders who act con-
trary to the wishes of the League. If any
person obnoxious to that body is supplied
with provisions, the offending trader is
summoned before a court at the League
rooms and called to account. He is then
either fined or expelled. In the latter
case should any person speak to or have
dealings with him, the former is at once
boycOtted. This is a return to the worst
