The chairman said that the majority
of the magistrates were of opinion that
the defendant should be bound to the
peace in two sureties of $50 each and
himself in 600 for his good behavior
fer twelve months or in default to so TO
Jail for twelve months.
Mr.. Byrne, j. P.-I desire TO say that
dissent from the decision of the
bench. l have listened to the number
of articles which Mr.. Blake read, and
| have come to the conclusion that they
do not sustain the charges. l have
asked myself if those articles have in
cited anybody to commit crime to any
body in the district around to which
the articles have referred. and | have
come to the conclusion that they nave
not; whether it is JWil5 10 the coed
Hense of the people )r the Wanr o. IN
fuence of the papers, no crime mas
been committed. The prosecution is
brought under rusty and obsolete act,
which has not been used for fifteen
years and which was then unearthed
conviction under an obsolete statute
which Is revived to serve a purpose.
The chairman here made an inter
ruption.
Mr.. Byrne-I have right to say
what l think is proper, Colonel Long
bourne l think the case should be
brought under a newer and more mod
ern act, and if the charges were more
specific they might be grievously at
fected and tried by the proper anthcri-
ty, instead of by a statute manufac-
tured in Dublin castle (applause in
court).
The Notwithstanding an appeal.
The Chairman-There is no appeal.
The Defendant-The sentence OF six
months is heavy, and may get time
to find balls?
Mr.. Newell, r. Mt is usual to give
time.
The defendant got until Thursday to
find bail and the court rose.
THE MORLEY ESTATE SETTLE
MENT PROBABLE.
Mr.. T. w Russell, NJ. p, who was to
have addressed a meeting of the ten
ants on the Morley estate at DoWra
County Cavan, on Saturday, 31st ult.,
decided ultimately on postponing his
visit to future date Mr.. Russell's
secretary of the tenants combination,
was chiefly, if not entirely, due to the
fact that negotiations opened within
the last few days are at present in
progress with a view to arranging an
amicable settlement between the ten
ants on the estate and the proprietors,
with, it is believed, reasonable hopes of
an issue satisfactory to the tenants.
THE NOLAN-FARRE ESTATE.
Ballyhaunis May 31-Mr. Hazel,
agent on the above estate, held an of
| flee here today to collect rents from the
Logboy portion of the estate. The ten
ants were willing to pay if an abate
ment was granted, but the agent point
blank refused to give any concession,
and no rents were paid. A similar oc-
currence happened yesterday at Clare
morris, where he held an office also.
| The tenants on the Ballyhowley por
| ton refused to pay until final settle
ment was made with the Logboy ten
ants

worthy being Donegal. There were
only five contests, which, resulted in

meath. Sir Walter Nugent, Bart, was
replaced by a United Irish Lacquer. In

nationalist. In the County Down the
gross results of the elections for dis
trict councillors show that the new

cooperation of three additional mem
