| For some time past dispute has eX-
listed on Major Conyngham Ellis es-
tate, Kilkinlea, Abbeyfeale, concerning
the purchase of their holdings by the

purchase, which the landlord refused
to accept and the consequence is that

anticipation of a visit from the sheriff,
anything that might be distrained on
| the lands has been removed. Matters
have now reached climax, as the i'll
terest of the six tenants in their hold
ings is announced to be put up for
