GALWAY.
Page, the so-cal}ed bailiff, who re-
signed his position at Woodford rather
than carly out the evictlons, was not a
bailiff, but an under agent On the prop
erty, as his father was during bis life
lime, and in throwing up the agency he
threw up se1O0 a year. It was a big sac
rifice to make, and be deserves the
thanks of ever sincere Nationalist for
doing so. The person that has taken it
is a son to the Whelan who went
against priests and people at the FAM
GUS Galway election, and voted for
French.
The police are again tiocking to
Woodford it is said to reap and save Tor
rather TO protect Emergency men
while doing SOY the crops OF the evicted
tenants, aud by all accounts it won t
be bard work for them to do so, as the
thousands who thronged there at the
time OF the eviction trampled them to
the face Of the earth. After the people
yacatjng Borders house, the whole
multitude present turned away quietly
and never left q stone upon another of
three miles Of stone walls from that to
''Saunuers' fort' but they placed on
the public road, sud although here
| were over two hundred police at work
it took them six and half hours tu so
from one place to another. There were
about three acres Of turnips On the
lands around saunders fort' when
the work OF the exterminator conl-
,, menced, besides several acres Of corn
and potatoes; but by the time the foul
work Was finished there was no sign Of
vegetables OH the whole farm; it wa5
tranlpled mercilessly under thousands
of feet. and it now has as much the ap-
pearance OF desolation as it an invad-
ing army had passed over it. Keeping
the Woodford prisoners in Jail after
such enormous amounts of bail had
been offered for their appearance will
not make the work of Government
much easier for the authorities. Ex-
perience proves that persecution does
not tend to soften the tempers OF the
friends of the prosecuted, and we all
know that to make an Irishman a real
ly deadly enemy of English rule in Ire
land you have only to give him term
on the plank bed'' and you Can count
on him for ever alter.
