irish Affairs.

Vers Butler William CUTIE, bailiff who
had made himself very obnoxious by his
cruel treatment of woman whom he had
recently evicted, went early to attend mass
i'll the Belearra chapel. When the men and
women of the congregation who were in
the chapel noJiced Cuffes presence they be-
came very indignant, and the men dragged
him from the building. When they had
him outside they turned him over to the
women, who were begging ''for chance
at him." Among these women were
twelve whom CUTIE had evicted. These
women were furious, and they fell upon
the bailif1 and
BEAT HIM UNMERCIFULLY.
Subsequently the priest, who is also the
president of the local branch of the Ma
tional league, admitted the battered baillff
to hear mass, and this mercy for the unfOr-
tunate man has almost caused a rebellion
against the priest. Moonlighters broke
into house in Tralee, County Kerry, last
night. and with drawn revolverS searched
the premises for arms. They found moth
ing but sword, which had been carried by
one OF the family ancestors in the revOlu
ton OF 179S. and which had been carefully
preserved as a family relic. The moon
lighters took the sword away. Most of the
tenants of the O'Flaherty estate near
Longford have accepted the offer of their
landlord to sell them all their holdings at a
price equal to the sum of sixteen years
rent. AS none of the tenants of the O'Fla :
herty estates have had their rents fixed
under the land act of 1881, the purchases
will be based on the Old rents.
The Irish Loyal and Patriotic union has
issued
PAMPHLET ON THE IRISH QUESTION
for the use of members of the house of
commons and the press.
1.-THE status of the Irish farmer says the
pamphlet has within the past sixteen years
undergone q marked amelioration owing to
various remedial statutes There has GER
taiply been a fail in prices, but everything
considered, there is nothing exceptionally bad
in Irish agriculture. The Irish enjoy greater
advantages of tenure than other people.
With improved methods there is reason 10
look to the future with confidence" Here fig
ures are quoted showing that full advantage
is taken OF the right to sell interests in hold
ings. The pamphlet continues: Laying
aside rhetoric al DOsh, it is necessary to state
succinctly the actual facts regarding eviction
By the land act OF 1851, tenant cannot pos
sioly be evicted unless he refuses to
pay, rents or does not comply with
certain statutory conditions, not forming
payment of rental cannot be brought for less
than years rent actually due. If an
ejectment be brought, the tenant may re-
deem the property at any time within SIX
months after the execution of the writs, or
may within the same period sell the tenancy,
after the writ has been executed, to anybody,
and the purchaser may redeem the property
Many other advantages are possessed by
tenants; Therefore, an eviction is dangerous
and costly to the landlord AMI is practiced
only in extreme cases. II a years rent
should fall due in September or November,
the landlord does not get decree until the
January sessions, and six months more must
elapse before he can gain possession of the
land. The landlord is then liable to the tenant
for the crops, so that nearly two years must
eiapse before he fully RECEIVERS his tenancy"
PARNELL's LAND BILL.
LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Parnell land
bill as re-drafted suspends eviction upon
payment into court of half the rent due.
Many GIadstonians disapprove of the
amount of the reduction. The Parnellites
assert that the full values justify demand
of over so per cent. reduction. Mr.. Par
nell, in conference with Mr.. John Nor
ley. urges reduction of rs per cent, but
on Mr.. Morley's advice he limited this re-
duction to so per cent. Leaseholders are
included in the bill. The governments re-
Spouse will be that Mr.. Parnell's data is in
accurate, that the Dublin executive returns
of market values for 1886 show that the
reduction in prices in Ireland is less than in
England and Scotland, ranging from 10 to
Is per cent. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and
Lord Randolph Churchill, will deny that the
bulk of the Irish tenants will be unable to
pay their rents in November, or that
A HOST OF EvICTIONS
are probable. The second reading of the
Parnell bill will take place on Friday. Mr..
Gladstone has privately announced that he
will return to London on Saturday, and
that he hopes to take part in the debate on
Monday. 1t is understood that he will sup
port the Parnell bill. His promised pres
ence is already rallying the Gladstonians.
The UniOnist whips have sent an appeal to
UnioniSt members in the country to return
to London and vote against the bill. The
government also insists upon the recall of
absentees. The Conservatives attempt to
curtail the debate to one night will be in
vain. The debate will probably extend
over four nights.
In 1883 Irish holdings numbered 555, 254.
Evictions during the first six months Of
1886 numbered only 2,007. vast majority
being for more than one years arrears.
Carefully prepared returns show that there
were only $50 cases of absolute removal
many having been readmitted, indeed.
many of the $50 were reinstated as care
takers. An additional important fact is
that by the county court rules in all cases of
ejectment the judge is able to grant such a
stay of execution as under the circumstances
he considers reasonable, similar course
being frequent in the superior courts. Re-
III hA ,bon bad fny hA afY-
tatlon, it is needless to remind the public
that the Nationalist boast that even the
poorest and neediest people have shown
their sympathy with the agitation by the
extent and continuance OF contributions.
1t is needless here to inquire into the. truth
of the matter, or to inquire
HOW MUCH CONFUSION
was necessary in obtaining money. All
that is required is that a hard stern fact
should be noted carefully. The land league
was started in 1S79 its avowed object being
to assist the Irish tenantry. The first
practical move was to commence drawing
subscriptions. The following figures are
taken from Parnellte prints: From OctO-
Der, 1879, until the government suppressed
the league, in October, 1881, the land
league received from Great Britain and Ire
land 911,S04 During the same period
there was subscribed for the fair trial fund
Ell. O24. and for the relief Of distress e94a.
