GALWAY.
The parish priest of RouDdstone, Rev.
Joseph A. Maloney. P. P, has exposed
great injustice which is being inflicted
upon the people Of that and the sur
rounding districts by the superintend-
ents OF the works Of the new C.ifden and
Galway railway. According to the rev.
erend gentleman, the workers resident in
various localities, for whose benefit the
railway has been ndertaken, are being
paid off and discharged in patches, while
strangers to the districts, according to
Father Moloney, are employed in their
stead. The only explanation that has
suggested itself to the people Of the dis
trict is that the local workmen are b ing
sent away because they did not patron
ize the railway shop" started in con-
nection with the undertaking, while the
strangers, having no connection with
the locality, freely patronize the railway
enterprise.
