Deniren, jam 5.e -At the weekly meeting
of the Land League yesterday Michael
Devitt said, it was understood that several
more meetings would be proclaimed this
week, and he • counselled all the branch
leagues to give the authorities no pretext
for the suppression of the meetings in con-
sequence of the wording of the placards.
He said branches of the League would be
summoned to meet fortnightly, and if these
meetings were also prohrbited the only
remedy would inevitably point in the direc-
tion of illegal meetings. If the Habeas
Corpus Act were suspended be was firmly
convinced that violence and outrage would
usurp the restricted influence of the League.'
At the trials of the tra,versers the defence
suggested that the short -hand ifews by Con-
stable Stringer had. been.. telterecl aline it
was takendeut failed to shake the witnesses.
It is evident that one point of the defence
will be that nearly all of the meetings at
'which the traversers spoke were sanctioned
or presided over by the Catholic clergy,
Messrs. Parnell, Dillon and Sullivan were
