same occasion and were sentenced to
six months imprisonment in Messrs.
Roche's and Lohan's case, while the
others were sentenced for lesser terms.
Appeals were lodged, and are still
pending. Mr.. Duffy treated the sum-
mons with contempt and failed to ap-
pear before the removables. Hence
his arrest. 1t was understood that the
trial would take place at Mountbellow,
Mr.. Duffy was visited in the police
barracks, after his arrest, by many
of the local Nationalists, including
Mr.. M. Kennedy, 7. c., honorable

]. Farrell, Mr.. j. O'Loughlin, 7. c.;

On Nov. 13 and IA, several pieces of
ship timber were washed ashore at
places on the Southwest Kerry coast.
1t is also reported that the carcases of

KILDARE.
At special court, held at Athy on
Nov. 8, Miss Mary Watts, Athy, was
charged on remand with having, be-
tween May 1, 1902, and Oct. 10, 1902,
stolen the sum of f1,2O0, the property
Of her uncle, Mr.. Nicholas Keating,
provision merchant, Athy. The pris-
oner was brought from Mountjoy pris-
on in the morning, and the court was
crowded, much interest being taken in
the case by both Mr.. Keating and his
niece, the prisoner being we'll known
in the district Mr.. Keating was ex-
amined and gave evidence as to miss
ing the f1,200 from his shop on Oct.
10. He had placed it there in twelve
sugar bags, f10O in each, about two
years ago. The prisoner was his
niece, and had been living with him
for some years before she went to
America, about fourteen years ago,
She returned two years ago, since
when she had lived with witness.
She was about to be married to Mr..
James McHugh, the son of large
farmer residing near Athy. Other
witnesses having been examined, the
accused was returned for trial to the
next assizes for the county. Bail was
refused.
LIMERICK.
During the first week in November
a scene was witnessed on the lands of
MIR. Samuel P. Harris, of Adams
town, Knocklong, which was reminis-
cent of the days of the Land League,
when "Buckshot" Forster was chief
secretary for Ireland, and was apply
ing the same coercion code that is now
employed by Mr.. Wyndham. Mr..
Harris, as is very we'll known, is con-
fined in Tralee prison, undergoing
sentence of six months Imprisonment
for a speech delivered by him at
Knockaderry. Mr.. Harris is large
farmer, and, as may very we'll be
understood, it was not possible for
him to have collected all the harvest
before being committed to prison; but
he now has the pleasing knowledge
that the work has been done for him
by his neighbors, and done well. Men
came from far and near, and brought
with them their horses and carts, and
they worked with a will and secured
the crops. 1t was an animated and in
structive scene, showing that the man
who espouses and suffers for the cause
of the people will receive their graft
tude and support.
LEITRIM.
At special court held in Manor
hamilton on Nov. 6, two men named
James McMorrow and Terence Nc
Gowan, were charged with shooting
at Mr.. James Johnstone "a landlord
who lives near Kiniongh) with intent
to murder. The accused were brought
up in custody from Sligo Jail, and Oh
the application Of Mr.. Lonsdale We're
remanded for eight days. 1t appears
that on the night of Nov. 3, Mr.. John
stone was out shooting, attended by a
game-keeper, on Glenariffe Mountain,
close to Rossinver Police Station,
when they came up with two men,
poachers. Both men ran
away, but on being followed by Mr..
tombstone, one of them raised his gun
and fired at their pursuer, who was
thirty yards away at the time, and
close to the corner Of an outhouse
Fortunately the greater portion of the
shot struck the house, but Mr.. john
stone was hit on the finger, the shot
slight scratch only. The
police at Rossinver, on being Informed
Of the occurrence, arrested the two
accused and lodged them in Sligo Jail,
where they now are.
