charged with having assaulted William
Loughran, the boots i'll the Royal Hotel
in that city, on September 10, by strik-
ing him on the head with a tumbler,
was sentenced to two months imprison-
ment with hard labor,
The tenantry on the Hertford estate
some time ago sent Forward to the land
lord, the Marquis Of Hertford, peJl-
tion setting forth that Oh the adloln-
ing estate (Sir Richard Wallace'sl re-
valuation had taken place few years
ago. and a reduction offered to the ten
ants, and requesting him to cause re-
valuation Of rents, so as to bring the
rental more in conformity with the pre-
sent prospects and conditions Of the
times. His reply has now been re-
ceived. and 1t is to rle effect that ne
cannot see his way either to grant re-
duction of rents or to cause a re-valua-
ton Of the property to be made. Ihe
tenants are deeply disappointed with
the refusal, especially as none OF them
ever made an application to the court
to have q fair rent fixed. Owing to the
great damage done to the crops during
the recent gale many of them will ex-
perience extreme difficulty in making
up their high rent.
CARLOW.

Commissioners recently 4 resolution
was adopted TO let the Town Hall to
the National League or any other body

quence OF paragraph in the report ct
the Markets Committee prohibiting the
letting Of the hall to any political Oh
other association.
CAVAN.
The glimmerings Of reason breaking
in upon the minds of sellinglylisposed
landlords, are beginning to spread and
magnify Some evidences of this fact
are to hand. For instance, batch Of
sales which are reported from County
Cavan. William Erskin, Esq, Hare
court Temple, London, has sold his
property at Loughduff to hls tenants at
fifteen years purchase, given to each
large quantity Of turbary free, and for
giving the current half years rent.
These advantages make the terms
equal to thirteen years purchase. John
Erskine, Esq, NJ. D., has sold his
property in Mullahoran, County Cavan,
to his tenants at fifteen years purchase
with free turbary and the current half
years rent forgiven.
The County Cayan tenants on the ex~
tensive property Of Colonel Saunder-
son, have received q general abatement
Of four sllillings III the pound. The
tenants on the Storey property, near
Virginia, have received I'LL abatement
of Jllree shillings in the pound.
CORK.
Il large boot and shoe factory in
Clonme], belonging to Mr. Myers, was
totally destroyed by fire on October 26.
The amount Of insurance is stated to
be far less than the value Of the prop
erty destroyed.
In Clonakilty the older people of the
town believe the ''Rev. MI. Keatinge.'
the notorious clerical imposter, to be
no other than a person named James
Koehane, who was born and reared in
the workhouse there.
GLARE.
The Glare Subj commissioners sat at
Ennis on October 26. and delivered
Judgment in large number of cases,
principally Of small holdings. They
gave substantial reductions. In the
case of James Gavin, tenant, and
Madame da la Haye, landlord, and in
which the rent was reduced from &l6
Is. lid. to e10 1Os., the chairman said
that it appeared that in July, 1888, the
present tenant purchased his predeces-
sors interest in the farm for a sum of
e27o, or 26 years purchase of the judi
cial rent. If the tenant at 80 recent a
date considered the interest OF the pre-
yious tenant worth 26 years purchase
of the rent as now fixed, it might lie
presumed that he regarded the rent as
moderate. However, his colleagues
thought the farm was not worth more
than elO 1Os., and at that it was to be
fixed for the future.
