The Keogh jaugment is still the most prominent topic of discussion in Ireland. It was announced that an "aggregate meeting of the Catholics .of Dublin" would be held.on the 24th June, to complain of the judgment. The corporation (the ".London Post" says) will be fully represented, and the agitation will partly take the form of a demand for an alteration of the election law giving a single Judge power to decide on petitions. The weekly papers continue exceedingly violent. The .'Nation' describes Mr. Justice Keogh as a pledge-breaker and a perjurer ; the Flag denounces him as a hireling libeller and a forsworn man in England's pay ; the Irishman heads an abusive article.with the title of "Judge Yahoo" ; the' Weekly JsTews " publishes acartoon, in which the judge is depicted as a felon in the dock, being tried for treason to his country—by his side stands the hangman, rope in hand ; and, the Irish Star's cartoon ' represents the judge's enigy being i burned, a delightful crowd. dancing round it. On Monday night an effigy of Judge Keogt was burnt in. the town of Cashel, and the , militia' and police came into conflict. The 1 North Tipperary militia were, aiding the townspeople in the'. burning,-' and . the sergeants ordered the men to their barracks, but: they - refused to obey, and a severe conflict with the police was the result, ending in an attack on their barracks by the militia and the mob.. Order was eventually restored ;: but for some time the city*was almost in a state'of siege.
