BOYCOTTING" THE LAWYERS IN IRELAND.  Thrre have been several instances of "Boycotting" solicitors in Ireland, and it now appear,' that the bar are to be subjected to this process. We hear from an Irish journal that at a meeting of a local branch of the Land League at Eimistymon it wee unanimously resolved, "That as Mr. Swift McNeil, barrister-at. law took up the case of Richard Stacpool, J.P., against the evicted tenant, Martin Walsh, Rannagli, we hereby pledge ourselves to give him no more professional support in this county; and we hereby direct our secretary to send copies of this resolution to every branch in this county, to invite them to co-operate with us in pushing this gentleman for backing up the worst case of landlord tryanny that has ocoured in this county since the formation of the Land League. The man Hennelly, whose house was visited on Wednesday night by the police at Clonbur, warn in bed suffering from a fracture of the skull, ani could not be moved. Tin police searched his house, and took away a letter from his son. It is said the men had a I dispute at a fair, when Hennelly's head was smashed, and the names of the murderers were freely mentioned. Hennelly being unable to be moved, the police are on guard at his house. The military correspondent of the frisk Fiala states that the authorities have it in contemplation to despatch almost immediately flying columns over the country, as wile done during the late Fenian rising. It is said that every step necessary for this movement has been already arranged, and that nine different columns will be started —two from Dublin, two from the Curragh, one from Athlone' one from Cork, one from Fermoy, one from Limerick and Belfast. Each column will comprise one troop of cavalry, a division of Royal Artillery with two guns, four companies of infantry, and ten sappers. It is also stated that • detachment of the Army Service Corps, with four general service waggons and ambulance waggons, will be despatched, each soldier carrying sixty rounds of ball cartridge, and the cavalry and artillery a full supply. At the County Petty Sessions, Limerick, on Thursday, John Collins WM charged with taking forcible poession of a house, the property of a man named . Healy. Healy, it appears, gave Collins the sum of ETIS for the house and land, which is situated at a place called Coonagh, in county Limerick, but he received a threatening letter calling on him to give up possession. A heifer, the property of Healy, was maliciously killed. Collins WM returned for trial. At Clocunel on Thursday six men were committed for trial on a charge of rioting and assaulting the police on the occasion of Boycotting the cattle of two local gentry at Golden Caidiel Fair. At Cashel Sesiocut two men were fined kli each, or two months' imprisonment, for Boycotting. The Crown Solicitor prosecuted. A miller named James Rearney, living near Clare. morris, has received • threatening letter, bearing the Balliyhaunis post mark, which states that if he grinds oats for any man who dares to pay above Griffith's valuation, the worms in the grave shall won have a New Year's gift of his body. Rearney has handed the letter to the police. The tenants on the Kdenderty estate of the Marquis of Downshire petitioned the trustees for an abatement of ni per cent., and on its being refused they met on Wednesday and passed • resolution refusing to pay any rent until the Government Land Bill had been passed or the reduction granted. The agent asserts the property is underlet. Mr. W. D. McCormick, of Dublin and Mayo, who took a farm from Mies Ganfiner, an unpopular landlady, residing at Bennie, has been "Boycotted," His cattle were driven off and dispersed throughout the county, and he has finally been compelled to give up the farm.
