Enniskillen Fusiller Militia. now en-
gagged in their annual training, and the
North Lancashire Regiment stationed
in the town. Pickets from each regi.
ment met in the street. and battle was
Immediately commenced. Each side
was soon REINFORCED by comrades,
while humber of the mi]itiamen from
the camp, evading the police, ran into
the conflict with their belts off and
armed with bludgeons. During the
melee many were wounded with bay
onets. The police being utterly help
less, the civilians and militia united and
marched through the town, hooting,
shouting, and stopping at the different
public houses to ascertain whether any
live men remained who dared sing
God Save Ireland!' They halted at
Belmore street, where they took posses

KERRY.
The system of Selling tenants cattle
for rent is still persistently carried on
on the Kenmare estate. Only for this
duty a substantial reduction could be
easily made in the police force of the
district, as the auxiliary police are for
the most part utilized in protecting
baiiiffs on the Kenmare estate, either
Selling the tenants effects. or in care
taking the evicted farms. With regard
TO these seizures there has been a new
departure on the part Of the agent.
When tenants cattle are brought 10,
they are not returned unless portion or
the rent and the costs are paid--thougb,
heretofore, the cattle were given back
on security being given. The result of
this is that great many tenants have
been deprived of their stock, which are
confscated and sent to Craze on the
landlords own lands. On June Sd,
some cows and donkeys seized for rent
in Minish were put up for sale at tho
pound, and were bought in for the
landlord for q trlfle.

charge Of the opposition to the claim,
stated that the Grand Jury awarded
$3.50 because Constable Hickey swore
that his pension had been fixed at $40
Is. year, and that but for the injuries
received he could have remained in the
police force q few years more and get a
pension Of e52 a wear. Mr.. Minch
stated chat, if he has correctly informed,
Constable Hickey's pension is in excess
Of ego lbs. and it was doubtful if this
sum was fixed at all at the time of the
claim being made. If it could be
proven that this was so he did not ill.,
