"I have the rint, sorr," the man said, "but it is God's truth I dare not pay it to ye!" Other tenants were waiting outside.

"Are you such a coward that you don't dare be honest ?" said Mr.Stacpoole.The man turned rather red, went and looked out of all the windows, one after another, lifted up the heavy cloth of the large table in the room, and peeped under it nervously, and finally walked up to Mr.Stacpoole and paid the money.
The receipt being handed to him, he put it back with his hand, eyed it askance as if it were a bomb, and finally took it, and carefully put it into the lining of his hat, after which, opening the door with a great noise, he exclaimed as he went out, "I'm very, very sorry, master, that I can't meet you about it!" This man is now as loud in protestation of his "inability" to pay his rent as any of the "Campaigners." Mr.
Stacpoole thinks one great danger of the actual situation is that men who were originally "coerced" by intimidation into dishonestly refusing to pay just rents, which they were abundantly able to pay, are beginning now to think that they will be, and ought to be, relieved by the law of the land from any obligation to pay these rents.
It seems to be his impression that things look better, however, of late for law and order.

On Monday of last week at Ennis an example was made of a local official, which, he thinks, will do good.

This was a Poor-Law Guardian named Grogan.

He was bound over on Monday last to keep the peace for twelve months towards one George Pilkington.
