as1t is becoming more apparent Day
after day, that the Ulster members are
little better than SO many pretent1ous
nieeo1npoops. The merest tyro III Far
lialnentary business would not put the
stupid questions they do. Many OF
Them are ruled out Of order by the
Sneaker. More attention is paid now
nv the Liberal side Of the House to any
one Of the Irish members than 10 bhe
antire gang Of the '.loyalist" members

CLARE
On March 2, Baron Dowse opened the
Glare Assizes, and in addressing the
grand jury, said he was happy to inform
them that on the present occasion their
labors would be very light. The num-
Der Of bills to go before them would not
exceed five or six, and from the list OF
cases that had been furnished by the
crown solicitor he was happy to be
able to tell them that they would not
take very long IN investigation, nor did
he think think they would take very
long either in trial. Notwithstanding
the fact that there we're only five or six
trifllng cases and Baron Dowse,s con-
,gratulatory address, the grand jury
passed resolutions deploring the III
crease of crime, denouncing Home
Rule, and calling for q renewal of CO.
ercion. On the following day an indlg-
nation meeting of the jurors. special
and ordinary, numbering 200, assembled
at the assi1es. was held in the court
house. The chairman having briefly
explained the objects of the meeting, a
resolution proposed by james Hslpin,
seconded by j, Neylon, was unanl-
nously adopted, which condemned as
unwarrafltable the resolution passed by
the Glare grand jury, a body irrespons-
ible outside themselves, to speak for the
people Of this county and who now as
always, have been actuated by selfish
motives IN their opposition to every
measure calculated to benefit the IRISH
people. The secretary was directed 70
forward copy of the foregoing to the
Premier, the Chief Secretary for Ire
land, and Mr.. Parnen-
