At the Clonmel Quarter-Sessions, last Saturday, Mr. John Howley, Q,C.,
the Chairman, announced that tranquillity continued in the South Riding of Tipperary, and had been quite restored in the North Riding- " In the district so recently disturbed, it is very satisfactory to know that public peace and order are now fully established. This desirable result has, no doubt, been principally forwarded by those wise and vigorous measures which had been adopted, and which prove that a firm and temperate administration of the ordinary law is sufficient for any exigency that may arise, and quite capable of vindicating and protecting those interests that may have been ;assailed by daring and violent offenders. The examples—the necessary examples—which were made of persons convicted of very heavy crimes, after trials conlucted in a manner that satisfied all, have had their proper influence in stopping that epi- demic of crime, which, if it bad not received this salutary check, might have spread throughout the entire country."
