IRISH NATIONAL LAND LEAGUE.

Thk following acknowledgment of the second instalment of the subscription Bent from Greymouth in aid of the Laad League Fund, and which amounted altogether to £157 2s 4d, has been receiTed by Mr. T. Qlennon, Hon. Treasurer of the Committee :—: — " Normanby Hotel, Rue de 1' Echelle, Paris, "October 14, 1881. " My dear sir, — 41 Your much esteemed letter of 14th July arrived on 28th September with enclosed draft value £57 2s 4d, and I would have acknowledged it more promptly but that I was over in Ireland for some time. I have now the pleasure to hand you a voucher, and, on behalf of our countrymen at Home, I have to convey to you and your patriotic co-workers in the good cause, my very warmest thanks for youT generous aid and your noble words of encouragement. Before you receive this you will have learned of the cowardly and treacherous action of our English rulers in arresting Charles Stewart Parnell, and of the attempts that are being made to drive out people ii»to open revolt, but we are determined that our cowardly foe will not get the coveted opportunity. Our countrymen intend to maintain the attitude of firm and determined, but passive, resistance that has achieved so much during the past two years, and which, in a very short time, will uproot the present system. We are now passing through a terrible crisis, and we want the help and sympathy of every friend of right and liberty. Again thanking you and all our friends in your neighbourhood, — I remain, my dear sir, "Yours faithfully, " Patk. Egan, Treasurer I. N. Land League. " Tobias Glennon, Esq., Treasurer " I. N. Land League, Greymouth, West Coast, N.Z."
