AFFAIRS IN IRELAND.
London, Dec. 3. Mr John Redmond, speaking at Motherwell, Lanarkshire, Scotland, said Ireland was in a state of profound peace, since cattle-driving was only an offence against the law, and was not a crime. He denounced the conspiracy of the English newspapers to represent Ireland as almost in a state of anarchy. The Archbishop of Tuam declaring that cattle-driving was illegal and immoral as a means of redress, the people in the archdiocese desisted and yielded to the wishes of the police. The latter in most cases were withdrawn. Mr Justice Wright, at Dublin, sentenced the five men convicted last week to four months’ imprisonment. The jury at Dublin yesterday disagreed in a case against 26 Galway men for cattle-driving, despite Mr Justice Wright’s emphasising the admission that driving went on a whole day and Mr Cherry’s remark that no honest men could doubt that driving was a criminal offence.
