BOYCOTTING IN IRELAND.

CHARGE OF RIOTING.

[PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

LONDON, March 6.

Eight residents of. BaJlinbragh were charged at the Liitram Assizes with rioting. The evidence showed that boycotted men, who went twenty miles for bread, were waylaid and robbed of their provisions by 700. Mr Justice Kenny declared it was hard to believe we were living in a Christian country, and if jurors sympathised with the prisoners they were unfit to fill the most menial office. The jury disagreed, and the case was adjourned till next Assizes.
