CHECKING BoYCoTTING.
The executive branch Of the Irish
government is making most determined
effort to check, through the operation of
the ordinary laws, the extensive system
Of boycotting which has been revived in
Ireland. Long lists OF prosecutions, which
are every day published, show the activity
OF the police in all cases wherein good
evidence is prOcurahle against them.
The boycotters are summoned and COM
mitted to trial, or bound over to
keep the peace. The license is revoked
OF every keeper of public house who is
proven guilty Of refusing supplies to per-
sons. Under the boycotting law so many
publicans have already lost their license
on This account that the league now ex-
empts publicans from obedience to boy
cotting orders, although in all other
respects this method OF Furnishing persons
pronounced Objectionable to the organiza-
tlOn is pursued unchecked.
THE WHITE BOY ACT.
So offensive has boycotting become that
the government has determined to revive
the white Boy act" The white Boysv
OF Ireland performed their work at night
and masqueraded in white. The act in.
ilicts seven years penal servitude on per-
sons found guilty of menaceo or conspiracy
against the peace, person or property of
lOyalists in Ireland.
200 BoYcoTTERs ARRESTED.
In pursuance OF the government plan
for the suppression Of boycott
ting 200 suspected inhabitants of Strada-
lay, county Queens, have been
arrested. The Dublin branch of the Ma
tiOnal League sent lawyer TO defend the
prisoners, but the Magistrate before
whom they were brought convicted all Of
them, and ordered them to fnd sureties
for their good behavior. The defendants
elected TO go to prison rather than fur
nish bail. The Magistrate hesitated to
commit them, and finally gave them a
fortnight In which to consider the matter.
