Dublin, May 14.-Killarucy is looked

agitation has begun against his lord

once characteristic Of his proscnitors,

Very little of the actual money spent
IN the uaighborhood goes to the Inv
habitants. nor does Lord Kenmare put
any OF his fees INTO circulation IN lre-
land. and for this reason he Is re-
garded as an absentee landlord OF
the most Objectionable type. Despite
his lord -lieutenancy, he never enter
