tionalist conventions in aid of the Irish
evicted tenants was held on Oct. 10th,
at Kilkenney, under the presidency OF
Mr.. Michael Davitt, M. p. The chair

iieved that if the Commission Mr.. Nor
| Icy proposed fearlessly proved the facts
surrounding evictions, during the last
thirteen years, the result would be the
| speedy reinstatement of the eyicted ton
ants, but the notorious evil of evictions
itself could not only be dealt with by q
national authority and the restoration to
/ Ireland OF Parliament clothed with
powers to leglslate for the needs OF the
people.

arising out of the strike among the bak-
era at the Groom Mills Bakery. Two
men who were supposed to be "black-

morning, and at night they were attacked
by some mon armed with sticks. One OF
the so-called "blacklegs" named Geof-
frey Burke, of Clonmel, had his skull
fractured, and he was removed to Bar
rlngton's hospital. A number OF the
striking bakers were arrested, and were
brought up at the Petty Sessions, before
the magistrates, where most OF them

concerned in the riot and assault In
the first case, in which Daniel O'Connell,
Thomas Keogh, John Broughton, Pat"
rick Parker, and man named Neelan
were charged with having committed q

that Burke was still in hospital in weak
condition, and was unable to attend, as
his life was still in danger. A remand
for a week was granted. In the second
case, James Pendergast, John Hogan,
Patrick Keane, Patrick Sexton, John
OBrien, Michael Graham, John Graham,

missed. John Godsell was fined 40s land
