JURY DISAGREES.
December 3. A jury at Dublin yesterday disagreed in a case against 26 Galway men who were charged with cattle-driving, despite Mr Justice Wright's emphasising their admission that they were driving for a whole day and Mr Cherry's remark that no honest man could doubt that driving was a criminal offence. YIELDING TO REASON.
Owing to the Archbishop of Tuam declaring that cattle-driving was illegal and immoral as a means of redress the people in the archdiocese desisted and yielded to the wishes ot the police. The latter in most cases withdrew.
Mr Justice Wright, at Dublin, sentenced five people who were convicted last week to four months' imprisonment.
