An enthusiastic Nationalist demonstra
ton was held on Dec. at Killmor. The
Rev. Jospeh Pelly, P. P, K.llimor, pre-
sided, and cOntingents were present from
a large number of the surrounding dis
tricts. The meeting was addressed by
DR.. Tanner, Messrs. David Sheehy, Con-
don, and Roche, M. P.'s, who We're en-
Enthusiastically greeted. Resolutions were
passed approving Of the action of the
Irish party in dealing with the latest out
break of faction, expressing confidence IN
the party, advocating the restoration Of
the evicted tenants, and the introduction
of a land purchase scheme, condemning

At the Conalaught winter assizes, in
Galway, on Dec 4, before Judge Andrews,
Michael King, who was put forward On
charge Of cattle stealing, was sentenced
to IL months imprisonment with hard
labor.
John Mcguire, who was found guilty Of
the manslaughter OF his wife came up for
sentence. Judge Andrews observed that
he did not believe the prisoner had any
intention of killing his wife; but he had
treated her very badly, and the case
might have been far worse but for the
leniency Of the crown in changing the in
dictment from murder to manslaughter.
He would, therefore sentence the prisoner
to Is months imprisonment with hard
labor.
