IRISH AFFAIRS.
WOMEN'S DAY PASSES QUIETLY.
LIMERICK CHARGE DISMISSED., Received 9.25 a.m. LONDON, June 10. Sunday's Women's Day in Ireland passed off quietly, many thousand women signing the pledge, declaring that conscription without consent is tyranny, and promising to help families suffering through the t men refusing enforced military service. The Women's Committee is not hostile to voluntaryrecruiting. The magistrate dismissed the charge against thirty-three iW-mbeTS of the Limerick Board of Guardians (cabled on June 1). The magistrate pointed out the clerk gave evidence that he entered the minutes twelve days after the meeting, and was unable to swear who was present; therefore there was no legal evidence that defendants participated in a highly illegal meeting.
