RIOTING IN IRELAND.
deceived March 6, 10..6 p.m. LONDON, March 6,
Eight residents of Ballenbragh were charged, at the Leitrim Assizes, with rioting. The evidence showed that boycotted men went twenty miles for bread, and were waylaid and robbed of their provisions by seven hundred people. Mr Justice Kenny declared that it was hard to believe that one was living in a Christian country when one heard of such an outrage. If the jurors sympathised with the prisoners they would be unfit to fill the most menial office. The jury disagreed, and the case was adjourned till the next Assizes.
