SPEECH BY MR J. REDMOND. CATTLE DRIVING NO CRIME. Received December 3, 8.13 a.m. LONDON, December 2. Mr John Redmond, chairman of the Nationalist party, speaking at Motherwell, said Ireland was in a state of profound peace, since cattledriving waa the only offence against the law, and that was not a crime.

Received December 4,12.30 a.m. LONDON, December 3.
