Cavan, lion. Joe. Biggar, member
of Parliament, with a number of
members of the organizing com
mittee of the Irish Nationalists
arrived at the depot there and were
enthusiastically received by a large
crowd. The magistrates and a
force of police were also present at
the depot. ' The magistrates waited
upon Biggar and handed him a
copy of the proclamation prohibit
ing the meeting. Biggar mounted
a car and drove off, followed by
his friends and police: the latter

obtained the title to his property;
but unless some successful church
robbers amassed it years ago, his
lordship would probably at the
