| On April 3rd, three more evictions
took place on the Thompson-Orpen
estate at Ballyduff In one case some
resistance was offered. There was a
large force of police present, and the
evictions caused much local excite
ment and indignation. IL will be re-
membered that those tenants were
sold out by Sheriff's sale in Dungar-
van on January 9th, and these pro-
ceedings have proved the sequel. The
latest victims, James Cunningham,
Michael Tobin, and John Cashin, are
the three biggest holders on the
estate. In the cases of Tobin and
Cunningham offers were made to dis.
charge the whole debt, and the agents
reply was that they would be out un-
til the crack of doom unless the
others paid. All the evicted tenants,
with their families, have been taken
in charge by the neighboring farmers
on the estate, ten of whom must,
themselves, answer ejectment process
ses at the next Lismore Quarter Ses-
sions.

when the town tenants made an ef-
fective protest against the eviction of
Mrs. Murphy and her children. Mrs.
Murphy was for over eighteen years
in occupation of her house, and at the
date of her eviction did not owe a
penny rent. On the day fixed for the
leviction, the members of the Town
Tenants Association determined to
make a public protest, and to march
in procession to Mrs. Murphy's house
and publicly remove her furniture to
her new home in Belfield. A process
sion, headed by three cars, laden with
the furniture Of the evicted tenant,
marched through the principal streets
of the town, and from all sides ex-
pressions of sympathy were heard
with the widow and her children. In
iall there have now been about twenty
evictions in the Spring Valley district.

| A dispatch dated Arklow, March Sd,
says: peter Mccarthy, one of the
most prominent of the tenants on the
Brooke estate at Coolgreeny, in the
Plan of Campaign days, has died in
Dakota, U. S., where he had settled
down as farmer. Recently, when a
settlement was effected on the es-
tate, possession of his old holding
was proffered to him, and he was maxi
ing preparations to come home to take
it up. His death has caused very deep
regret amongst the old campaigners
and in Nationalist circles. He leaves
a widow and some children to mourn
his loss"
The dead body of Mrs. Mackey, an
old woman, who resided at Rathangan,
some three miles from Wexford, was
found in a we'll near her house, a
few days ago. No explanation as to
how she came there has been OBJ
tanned.
