DONEGAL.
On November 8, at the Petty Sessions
Court, Banbeg, near Gweedore, actions
were brought by Inspectors Sullivan and
Tweedy, against eight families for re-
taking possession of houses out of
which they had been evicted, last
April, by Captain Hill. Formal evi-
dence of evictions was given in two OF
the cases by producing the DEGREES for
possession. endorsed by the Under
Sheriff, and both were returned for
trial, bail being accepted. In the other
six cases an adjournment was granted
for fortnight, to enable Inspector
Tweedy to produce original DEGREES
from the Under Sheriff. The notable
feature in these proceedings is that they
are the outcome of the activity OF the
constabulary, who have been acting as
bailiffs and Emergency men for Captain
Hill since the evictions. This duty for
tine landlord party, as we'll as the collec-
tion of dog taxes, seem to be the only
occupation that the constabulary have
got to engage them in this parish 1t is
remarkable in this district that once an
eviction takes place the whole charge is
given to the police, and neither care
taker, bailiff, nor Emergency man is en-
gagged by the landlord.

GALWAY.
The work of organizing the enormous
estates of Lord Clanricarde, writes cor
respondent of United Ireland, is pro-
gresslng steadily. The estate extends
for an immense tract throughout South
