benefit of the doubt, not the tenants.

Mr.. T. w. Russell came to the aid OF
the local authorities Had the bill been
referred to a committee, the Gas COM

in the town, showed their sympathy
with the count by their presence in
large numbers in the procession, as we'll

windows OF their houses. The long line
of carriages and humber vehicles OF
earnest synpatlizers extended almost

some two miles, whence the remains
were conveyed by train to Roscrea,
where they we're inferred in ST. Joseph's
Abbey, beside those of Miss Moore, the
counts sister, who died last August,
