Among those visited were tenants to Lord Ortnathwaite, who refuse to pay unless they get an abatement of 30 per cent. A large seizure of cattle was effected this morning about 5 o'clock by the police in the neighbourhood of Firies on the lands of tenants on the Kenmare estate, who refused to pay the last May rents unless they got a reduction of 30 per cent. The seizuie was quite ■unexpected."
