MAYO.
At Castlebar petty sessions, ON Oct. e.
before Mr. Starkie, r. NJ, and four other
magistrates, six young boys were charged
with hooting, at Glen Island, three
daughters of care-taker named Koran,
who was boycotted for selling turf to- Sir
Roger Palmers agent. Two of the boys
named Glennan and Hyland, were SEN
fenced to one months Imprisonment, and
four others, named Ginnelly, Ludden,
Lotus and Jennings, we're offered their
discharge on finding bail to be of good
behavior for twelve months, or, in de-
fault, to be imprisoned for two months.
The latter four protested their limo
cence, and preferred going to Jail rather
than give bail for an offense they We're
not guilty of in any degree. The affair
has created a good deal of comment, ow-
ing to the arbitrary sentences passed by
the magistrates. A large force of police
were present and were groaned by the
people.
