LORD 4SHTOWN WINS.
perdict of s7OO-Judge Discred'ts
Defence an Bomb Case.

Waterford, Ireland. Sept. 23-Lord Ashtown
has received an award of 500 and costs IN d
suit for compensation growing out of the eA-
plosion of a bomb at his hunting lodge near
Clonmel the night of August 13 last.
Lord AshtowD is of the landlords whose
activity in the cattle grazing has aroused
the most bitter animosity. He asleep in the
lodge at the time of the explosion He charac-
terized the outrage attempt to kill him.
and said IL was the work of peasants from the
West of Ireland
The trend of the defence was in support of
th1nly veied allegations that Lord Ashtown
himself had planned the explosion of the bomo
and this, added to the police report suggesting
that the alleged bomb had been prepared within
his lordships own residence. drew sensational
interest to the case from all over the United
Kingdom. Much of the evidence contradlc-
tory. and there was some stubborn swearing TO
alleged facts by both sides. Judge Fitzgerald
declared the outrage to be most malicious. and
said there was no foundation for the allegations
against Lord Ashtown
The defence was conducted by Timothy
Healey. Nationalist member Of Parliament for
the North Division of Louth. and the impor-
tance attached TO the case was indicated by the
brilliant array of counsel on both sides.
