DISTURBED STATE OF IRELAND.
DEFYING THE LAW.
STRANGE CONDUCT OF A CORONER.
[reutek's copyright telegrams.]
London, October 9.— Telegrams fiom Ireland state that a number of meetings of the National League took place on Saturday at Mitchelltown and elsewhere, in defiance of the prohibition and • the exertions of the police to prevent their being held. No serious disturbances are yet reported.
The Dublin Express is of opinion that it would be better to repeal the Crimes Act it tho authorities are unable to enforce it. At the trial of the Mitchelltown rioters, owing to Harrington, counsel for the defence, insulting witnesses, and the coroner approving, the Crown will not call further evidence.
