police, drawn up in Gordon, guarded
every approach to the house. They
mercilessly handled the people
knocking them down and ill-using
them even on the ground. One young
man named Gallagher was seen to be
knocked down by constable, lifted
by him and deliberately knocked down
again by the same paid rufiian in uni
form. At this stage Dennis Kilbride
interviewed, and talked strongly to the
authorities, who thereupon checked
the police, who became less offensive
Waugh and his son, amid the groans of
the angry crowd, threw out oil the fur

years Of age.
The evicting parties, accompanied by
the police, next visited Mrs. Rose
Kenny CTom), Of Coranmorr. On the
route from Kiltyclogher to the place
mentioned-nearly two and a half
miles-immense crowds of people fol-
lowed, shouting and groaning the po-
lice. The Glefarne Band and the Kill
tyclogher Band accompanied the
crowds.
On reaching the house Of, Mrs.
Kearney, who is very Ill, Waugh en-
tered, and Mrs. Kearney, who was
nursing the sick woman, told him to
be quiet and not have an uproar, fear
ing the collapse Of the dying woman,
who lay fainting on the bed. The
sheriff entered the room and examined
the sick woman. He lifted her out of
the bed and roughly laid her on the
floor, amid the Mortified protestations
and screams Of her female relatives.
Mr.. Kilbride, who now came into the
house, warned the sheriff that he was
not medical man, and on him would
be the blame if anything serious hap,
pened to the invalid, whom her friends
tried to revive by bathing her temples
in water. Mr.. Maude, brother Of the
receiver, apparently sick Of the sher.
iff's conduct, asked him to desist, and
the latter left the house saying in an
insulting way that the woman was
shamming. When the people outside
heard of the occurrence deep and
hearty groans were given for the sher
iff, whom the police had to form a cor
don around.
The police outside during this time
were behaving very badly. One pc
liceman throttled young man from
Kitty, John O'Rorke, and threw him
against broken stump, cutting his
leg badly.
The party then went further across
the fields to the house of J. S. Keany
Here there was girl in q dying con

from this place also without carrying
out the death sentence
The fiendish work Of the evictors
was resumed two days later. They
first went to the house of Peter Clancy

Clancy asked the sheriff to read the
decree, and this having been done, the
mistake was pointed out. and the ten
ant served the sheriff with notice that
he would hold him responsible if the
eviction were proceeded with. After
consultation, the sheriff and the re.
ceiver and their followers abandoned
the eviction, and drove towards Kitty.

There was crowd of about thou.

by the Glenfarne and Kiltycloghe1

miles from Kiltyclogher, there was a
diversion caused by large quantities of
