which was proposed at the meeting
of the United Irish League directory,

p, and seconded by Mr.. John Fitzgib-
bon and passed unanimously, and said:
ut was Il proper resolution, and they,
as an example to the other boards in
Connaught, should also adopt it. The
resolution dealt with the acquisition
and distribution of the grazing lands
of Connaught. AS far as Connought
was concerned, the Land Act was a
failure, and no good would ever accrue
from it to Connaught unless the Con-
gested Districts board We're given COM
pulsory powers to purchase the graz
ing tracts of the province and divide
them among the people" Nhe resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted and a
copy ordered to be sent to the chief
secretary and to each board of guard
ians in Connaught.
