"These cases have nothing whatever to do with Mrs.Moroney.[21] They are simply between the defendants and the police and other officials, who were at Milltown Malbay that day.

I am greatly pleased at your evident wish to co-operate with me in calming down the ill-feeling which unfortunately exists, and I am satisfied that success will attend our efforts." On Thursday and Friday last, as I have recorded, the cases came on of the twenty-six publicans charged.

Twenty-three only were put upon their trial.
