'. Social Ostracism. — For the land of real liberty (writes Atlas, in the World), '■ go to a country under mob rule. When Captain Boycott passed through Dublin > on his way to England, the proprietor of the Hannam Hotel, in which he had • taken rooms for himself and family, gave him peremptory notice to quit, . having himself received a threatening note, if he allowed him to sleep or eat i in his house. And worse still, the ' manager of the once respectable Shelbourne Hotel, one of the finest and largest in Dublin, refused to send up a dinner ordered by Colonel Somerset Maxwell 1 , to which Captain Boycott was invited as a guest, giving as his reason that Rory of the Hills had written to say he would smash all the windows if he allowed Captain Boycott to enter his premises.
