in Ireland to accommodate Catholic
jurors at inquest with a Catholic Tes-
lament: since the abominable oath tax
en- by King Edward nothing else would
be expected from the head of one of
the oldest Catholic families in Ireland,
who built more monasteries and
churches than any other family in the
country; a copy of this resolution to
be sent to DR.. Jordan and the press"
} Proposed by NJ. Lavelle, seconded by

son be admitted to this branch whose
valuation upon lands exceed $3.50. AS
we have already expelled all such land

Mr.. P. McGettrick recently presided
at meeting of the Balymote branch Of
the United Irish League. Present:
Messrs. McGlynn, M. Gallagher, J.
McGennis, T. Doddy, Hugh Markey,
Mat Harmon, A. Walsh, j. Scanlon and
]. Gilmartin. The action of the two
carriers who helped to bring the huts
to Leitrim was condemned, as they
knew well where they were going. 1t
is terrible that the town should produce
such blacklegs. The people of Bally-
mote will know how to deal with
those hackers Of eviction. It is known
that the grass grabber had been sup
piled with stabling for his horses not
far from town. 1t was considered
advisable that a public meeting be
held to protest against the action of
suckers. The chairman said feeling
ran very high in regard to the mean,
shabby action of those few mug
womps. Nevertheless, the cause must
go on until grabbing and treachery be
a thing'of the past.-M. Harmon and
John Gilmartin, secretaries.
