C rimeless Ireland

The latest police return regarding agrarian crime in Ireland shows that there is practically no agrarian crime in the country whate'ser. The return for the last quarter of 1902 gives the total offences as numbering 49, and 27 of these are cases of threatening letters. To those who know and lemember the performances of such police miscreants as Sergeant Sullivan, of Mulranny, in concocting and despatching forged incitements to crime, and then including these in their return of 'criminal ' offences for the district, it will be clear that agrarian crime in Ireland, even in the matter of threatening letters, is practically non-existenfc.
