IN IRELAND

f "ebdikb’s” ieleqbam.] A BISHOP’S WARNING. (Received This Day at 9.45 a.in.) LONDON, Oct . 20. The Irish Bishop of May mouth has issued a statement that: “There is terrorism partiality and failure to apply the principles of Government are rampant. It is impossible to uphold the law of God on a proper scale. Truly appalling must be reckoned the countess indiscriminate raids and arrests in the darkness of the night, prolonged imprisonment without trial, savage sentences from tribunals that do not command and do not deserve confidence, burning of houses ,and crops and destruction of industries to pave the way for want -and famine, by men maddened with plundered drink bent on flogging and massacres of civilians, all perpetrated by the forces of the Crown.” C Referring to Ulster the Bishop says the plausible sentiment about not coercing Ulster is founded, on a false pretence which if pressed, will, we warn the government, bring a danger of a bitter prolonged civil strife.
