CORK.
The Rev. NJ &. Norris, the energetic
curate of the fishermen Of Ballycotton,
writes startling exposure in The Cork
papers of che manner in which the pier
built at Ballycotten bay has been COM
pleted. A princely grant Of SIC, 00O--
being the Largest 1nade--was given by
the Piers and Uarbor Commissioners
for the Ballyeotton Pier under the Act
OF 1883. This SUM Was supplemented
by an additional $500, and the outcome
CT all the large expenditure is that tue
pier is nearly useless, if not positive
DANGER to the lives OF the fishermen.
The Cork Herald says. The o Grady
tenants at Herbertstown are daily sub
mitted to regular course of persecu-
ton and petty annoyance. 1t seems
that the landlord being unable to break
their combination gives vent to his
spleen by subjecting them to petty per-
secutions. At the last Herbertstown
Petty Sessions a man named Thomas
Fitzgerald was charged with trespass,
and, of course, fined. Other tenants
have been brought before the mag,s-
trates on similar charges, and with like
results. The O'Grady is mistaken,
however, if be thinks hs can dsunite
them in this manner, as the tenants
now see his ''game," and are, therefore,
tho more strengthened III their resolve
to abide by their demands.
