sale evictions in Ireland is being carried out
in the most Oppressive and outrageous man
ner. Although Chief Secretary Morley has
given orders revlying and enforcing the OLD
rule that the police shall not give aid In
eyictions between sunset and sunrise, yeti
landlords find the hours OF daylight quite
sufficient for their mercile5s work,
Scores of tho aged and deereplt. as we'll

be seen camping out on the roads III the
southwest OF Ireland with nothing Out
clothing little better than rags to shelter
them from the bleak storms OF October.
At Bantry few days ago whole family
were in the midst of fierce rain and
wind of last week, crouching IN grove or
trees and wet to the skin. they had oeen
eycted last Saturday, when the husband
was hardly able to hobble out OF bis
wretched cabin. and the wife and mother
about to give birth to another child. :. .,
The little one was born without medical
assistance on the following day. with the
rain pouring down through the branches OF
the trees now almost denud ed of leaves and
the wind blowing hurricane around:
Kind neighbors learned OF the wretcned
