Limsfhekz docks. The dispute on this
occash Has arisen between Mr.. Herriott,
who had contracted for the discharge of
cargo of coal, and the regular quay
laborers employed by him to effect the
discharge. 1t appears steam Winches
were used for the clearances of the vessel,
but the laborers objected unless the hand
winches were resorted to, and the de-
nnand not being complied with the
laborers withdrew from the vessel and
were joined by the carriers, who also, I'M
der the circumstances, refused to work.

Gleeson, Abbeyfeale, svicted aw fam
lilies on the Ellis property. The first to

been reinstated in the possession OF his
holding on the property of Colonel Mac

eviction, four years ago, awakened much
public sympathy. The land was given to
the charge of an emergencyman, under
police protection, and despite all dis

lost hope, but continued to reside in a hut
provided for himself and his family. 1t
