OFFICIAL IMBECILITY.
J.ENIENCY BEYOND REASON. EXTENDED TO HAZEL BRIGADE. (Received 8 a.m.) LONDON, July 16. Jlr. Justice Ross, of the Land Judges Court, Dublin, said that widespread official neglect of precautions to prevent cattle-driving was so marked that the offenders themselves, like the sufferers, believed that driving had official approval. Leniency beyond nil reason had been attempted. This was interpreted as imbecility, cowardice, and connivance. Reports of oflicials throughout th e country showed that a spirit o f violence and lawlessness was increasing daily. The plain remedy under statute law in the hands of the authorities must be applied.
