Per Press Association- —C'Djjyriiili ' Received July 17, 10.50 a.m.
LONDON, July 16
Mr Justice Ross, speaking in the Land Judges' Court, Dublin, referred to the widespread official neglect of precaution to prevent cattle driving. This was so marked that- the offenders themselves —like the sufferers —believed that driving had official apnroval. Leniency beyond all reason had been attempted, and this was interpreted as meaning imbecility and cowardice, and connivance. The reports of officials throughout the country showed that the spirit of violence and lawlessness was increasing daily. The plain remedy under the statute law in the hands of the authorities must be applied.
