license 1t appeared that on the morn
Ing of the 14th Of July the defendant
was returning home after attending an

finish up the battle of the Boyne and
commenced firing off his revolver at
Marine. Constable Dunno, of Bally-
Dough, hearing the fusilade overlook
the delinquent and prevented him from

him. The defendant had nothing to
say before the court, and was ordered to
pay mitigated penalty of So los.

show an improvement in numbers, a
connection between railroading and
learning that may, possibly, surprise
even modern economists.
