KILKENNY, Dec %, 1890.

Hundreds of the constabulary marched hither
and thither in small bodies. The counting of
the votes at the court house was terribly slow.
The work began at 9 and ended Just before s.
Az the hours passed Parnelrs supporters grew
more gloomy. In the room where the counting

Hennessy duly elected member for North Kill

be thrown over the balcony. He was taken
away bya private route and went to Dublin
