In the year 1869 Mr. Moore was adjudicated a bankrupt, and amongst his creditors wm Mr. Prosser, to whom he owd about 500. Mr. Meore proposed te Mr.

A deed to that effect was prepared in the form ef aa absolute con veyance bat about the time ef its execution some correspondence passed between the parties, in which Mr. Prosser premised that if air. Moore should wish at any time within a year ensuing to get back the annuity he would recon-f ey it to him for the same money on the condition ef his paying the coats of the preparation of the deed and of the reconveyance, ad Mr. Prosser, having get the assignment the annuity in June.

In as Lynch's Estate. Mr.

A Armstrong applied on behalf of the Receiver (Mr. Nolan) that certain reductions in rent should be made to tho teaante on the estate. The tenants applied for a reduction of 40 per cent all round, and the Receiver recommended a redaction of 25 per cent to ordinary agricultural tenants and 15 per cent te grazing tenants. Judge Boyd Where is the owner! Mr. Armstrong He is at present in Australia.

Judge Boyd What is the rental Mr. Armstrong About 232 18t lOd. Judge Boyd What is the amount ef the incumbrances Mr. Armstrong I cannot say but Mr. O'Reilly, who represents the petitioners, said that the owner had no interest.

He had communicated witn Mr. O'Reilly on the matter before making tho application. Judge Boyd said that he would leave it to the Receiver to use hie discretion in each case. MTersan Estate Mr. TM Heary.on behalf of the tenants on tate, which belonged to Captain MTernr and which was situate in a mountainous diatr.ct in the county ef Kilkenny, applied that tho tenants should be granted an abatement on their mit.

He believed that tain M'Ternan unfortunately had only a small interest in tho estate. Mr. Sullivan, who appeared for Captain MTeraan, said there was only a mortgage for 1,000 on the property, and that the rental was 600 or 00. He opposed all abatements. The solicitor for the receiver ea the prorty said the rental was not more than about 200 a year.

Mr. Healy remarked that Captain M'Ternan, of all men in the world, ought to know tho necessity ef giving abatements this year. He would ask hie lordship to allow tite case to stand for a month, and perhaps in the meantime a little pressure could be brought to bear on Captain M'Ternan. Judge Boyd said that ef course he could not gi a reduction where tho owner having a substantial interest opposed it, but he would allow the case to stand for a week. (Before Mr.

Justice Monroe.) In Rs Wallis' Estatb Mr. Madden, with him Mr. Miles Kehoe (instructed by Mr. O'Shaughnessy) applied on the part ef the petitioner, Mrs Helena Wallis, to have made absolute an order of sale notwithstanding the cause shown by the owners. Thomas Wallis and Stephen Barry Walsh.

Mrs Wallis had filed a petition for the sale of the lands of Killeen and Ballinacourty, in the county Limerick, as entitled to a charge of 150 on these lands under her marriage settlement of the 23rd which the lands were charged by her late husband, John Wallis, with the above sum in case at the time of his death there should not be farming stock and other property of the value of 700 on certain lands of Irenlois, in the county Limerick, which were also included in the marriage settlement. John Wallis died in 1883, and BaUinacounty became the property of Stephen Barry Walsh, and Killeen of Thomas Wallis, the owners, who contended that Mrs Wallis was precluded from her conduct from now raising the charge of 700 'out of the lands, and that in any event a large portion of it had been paid out of other property of John Wallis's. His Lordship made the order of sale absolute, and directed an inquiry to ascertain the exact sum due on foot of the charge when the petition was filed. Mr. John Roche, appeared for Thomas Walsh, Mr.

Matthew Burke (insimcted be Mr. John Ryan) appeared for Stephen Barry Walsh. Wkir Estatb. Mr. Nolan, on behalf of Mr.

James O'Brien, a leaseholder on the estate, which is situate in the county of Sligo, applied for a reduction of 20 per cent, on his rent. Mr. O'Brien's rent was 200, and the Poor-law valuation 115, and for some years back Mr. O'Brien was paying rent not out of the land, but out of other business. The lease was for 21 years, and it was taken when pi ices of produce were high in 1875.

The owner had only a small interest ia the estate. Mr. Thomas Gerrard, solicitor, who ap- Beared for the petitioner, opposed the reduction. 1 1 ai a 1 uoge Doja saia tuone leuanu wuo huk iuiu when farming was really profitable ought to receive the fullest consideration, for he thought they were more bit than anyone else. They got their leases because they we're good tenants, and they were excluded from the beuefit of the Land Act because they were good tenants.

Mr. Gerrard suggested ten per cent. O'Brien (the tenant) I did not make the rent out of the place for the last five years. Mr. Gerrard But he was "Vung be tore tliat.

You should ee the large amounts that men have in the Bank of Ireland all made out of grazing. 1 know one man who has 100,000 there, all made out of grazing. Mr. Sullivan That must be Lord Cioncurry. Mr.

Nolan pressed that his lordship should say 25 per cent. Judge Boyd I can't do anything unless the petitioners consent, Mr. Gerrard Well, I will agree to 15 per cent, O'Brien That is very low. You want to beggar a good tenant. I ought to get 20 per cent.

Judge Boyd I can't do anything more in the matter. O'Brien Well, I think 1 will adopt the Plan of Campaign (laughter). Judge Boyd Don't be making any threats. I have been doing my best ia the matter. O'Brien Well, I bow to the decision of the Court.

An abatement at the tate of 15 per cent was then granted. Huktisgdor Estate. Mr. Healy (instructed by Mr. Dillon) applied, on behalf of the tenants on this estate, for a reduction of 80 per cent to the leaseholders, and, contrary to the order already made, that some reduction should also be made to the judicial tenants.

Already since notice of this application had been issued tho receiver had got the Court to sanction a reduction of 20 per cent, which was entirely inadequate. The rents were considerably higher than the valuation, and in some eases mere than double it. Mr. Lawler, solicitor for tho receiver, said all the parties interested were of opi a ion that 20 per cent was sufficient, and they would consent to five per cent to judicial tenants. Mr.

Healy asked they should be given five per cent additional. Judge Boyd 1 cannot do anythiagez-cept by consent of the parties; Mr. Healy Perhaps you might give aa expression ef opinion. Judge Boyd I have repeatedly said that leaseholders are entitled to every consideration, but I cannot coerce anybody. Mr.

Healy Well, I wish there wae somebody to coerce. An order was then made granting 20 per cent reduction to leaseholders and five per cent to judicial tenants Forster Estate. Mr. Healy, oa behalf of the tenants on this estate, applied for a reductioa of rent. Last year they obtained a reductioa of 25 per cent, aad times of course were worse now, and they would leave it to his lordship to say what further redaction they should get this year.

Mr. BeD, tho receiver, suggested that 25 per cent should be givca. Mr. Burton, solicitor for tho petitioner, said the owner had hardly any interest ia tho estate. He would oppose aha giving of more than 20 per cent.

Judge Boyd Can you give any reason why I should not give the same) reductioa ae last year, Mr. Burton I Yes, that these tenants would swear anything put before thorn. Mr. Healy That would apply to more persons than tenants. Judge Boyd said ho would give a reduction of 25 per cent, COMMON PLEAS DIVISION.

Cumming (instructed by Mr. Brown) moved in tlie matter of the liquidation of tho Ulster Land, Building, and Investment Company, a renewal of an application made on a former day for an order for the release on bail of Mr. James Thomson, Chairman of the Company, who by an order of the Vice-Chancellor, made on the 27th of November last, had been committed to the county Antrim Jail. Counsel said on the last occasion a' difficulty was apprehended as to whether the liquidator and his solicitor could have interviews with Mr. Thomson in the prison.

However, it was since found possible to have these interviews, and he had given all the information he possibly could as to the affairs of the company. "Mr. Overend, (instructed by Messrs Carson and M'Dowell) said after what transpired on the last day the liquidator was at once admitted to see Mr. Thomson, and he gave' him all the information he possessed. The liquidator wished particularly for an explanation aa to the defalcations of the late secretary, which amounted to 1,800.

They displayed the inexcusable weakness of admitting on that body one Radical and one Nationalist. Of oourse, under tlie changed condition of affairs at St Stephen's it is not quite so easy now to pack a Commission as it is to perform that time-honoured operation on, say, a Sligo jury, but really the "claFses" ought to have submitted to some incon- veniences rather than permit the disclosures of such awkwaid facts as were elicited from the Commission witnesses by Mr. Storey and Mr. Arthur O'Connor, and which have been embodied in the reports written by thee gent emen. Let us hope that the people of England will profit by the casion, and that, availing themselves of the new light thrown on landlordmism, they will at length be enabled to see that institution as it is.

The evidence given before the Commission shows clearly enough the connection between landlordism and trade depression. The thre great bases of trade and industry are agriculture, coal, and iron, and what affects one or all of these must necessarily influence the general prosperity of the country. How does landlordism affect them Take a riculture, and observe the salutary influen of landlordism i According to the evidence fci en before the Royal Commission, The capital of the far mer is gradually going from him, his stock, cattle, and horses wishing, and tin cultivation of the land detei iorai ing, A under a lease have been compelled to pay the full rent during tno last eignt or nine years 1 nt-y are in the way of being ruined. It appeals established that, speaking generally, the tenant has for the last few vea been paying a portion at least of the rent out of capital, and during the last few years from 15 to 20 per cent. In some parta of 'the country the rents of the last two years have been paid entirely out of capital.

Another wit-j ness declared that if tlie present system continues, and farmer pay rent for another three or four years out of capital, their capital will be gone altogether." Turning to tho evidence respecting the coal trade, we find that ''while the workmen obtain wages and tlie employer little or no profit, the burden of royalties is greater." In other words, the consumer of coal has to pay the maximum price for it, the miner has to work, for the mini- mum of wages, and the owner of the mine has to dispense with all interest on his capital for what I To fill the pockets of the landlords. 'men, anenr. the iron tr ae, Air. storey says With respect to iron, a ton of English pig is worth at present about 21. The royalty upon its ingredients reaches to 5s or 6s, exacted by persons who in many instance never paid a rrri a.

farthing directlv or indirectly for the minerals. The royalty in some competing countries which are pressing us hard is od per ton, payable to the State. It needs no argument to demonstrate how this cast iron system, which landlord have taken a vantage of their position to enforce, handicaps British manufacturers most seriously, and is likely more to do so as foreign competition grows keener." I might paraphrase this extract in precisely the same manner as the quotation respecting coal. The position then is this. If we except a few of the minor industries which are too insignificant for the notice of the landocracy, or which have been created since tho date when some slight check was put upon the legislative omnipotence of that class, we find, so far as these countries are concerned, that (minus tlie small proportion necessary to support the operatives in as miserable a condition as may be) tho ent re product, both of Nature's bounty and of men's industry, are absorbed by landlords.

In addition to this the same class receives two thirds or three fourths of tlie taxation of the Kingdom, in consideration of their mismanaging the Army, Navy, Civil Service, and Established Church. To this may also be added one million per annum paid to the Queen for her services in occasionally eomplicating a Ministerial crisis. Aristocracy may be a very desirable article, but surely the bill looks rather big. John Bull has now an opportunity of realising what it amounts to. 1 wonder will he contiuue to pay it.

If so, he will probably find some consolation in I he reflection that un-'er tlie present system blue blood must soon become universal in the United Kingdom, as the maintenance of its proper cerulean hue involves tho rapid absorbtion of the muddler liquid which flows in the Veins of the plebeian masses. In Ireland the grievance is aggravated, but of course grievances in Ireland don't count' Yours truly, P. J. Belfast, 17th January, 1887. CONCERT AT KILLOUGH.

A concert and dramatic entertainment, which proved a splendid success, was given in the Catholic dl, Kilhiugh before a very large and respectable audience. The hall, under the directions of Father wae very nicely arranged for the occasion, and his Sorts contributed largely to tlie success which resulted.

The magnificent Scotch tong, Angus tt'Donald," was sung with thrilling and superb effect by Miss Mary Smith, Belfast, whose "pure and powerful voice was heard to immense advantage in the delicate cadences of the melodv.
