Show LATE '""IRISH NEWS Evictions Resumed. Castlerea, Monday. The eviction campaign was-" resumed on Lord De Freyne's estate this morning when the sheriffs party started out at 10 o'clock, and during the greater part of the day the weather was of the worst possible description. The rain came down in blinding sheets and, accompanied by a wintry blast, made the weather quite the worst that has been experienced this autumn. The sheriff's party in- i ciuded the usual long cavalcade of po- ' lice on transport cars and on bicycles, who were in charge of District Inspector Inspec-tor Hetreed. In view of recent land legislation and the sale of the adjoining adjoin-ing estate to the tenants last week, the defaulting tenants on the De Freyne estate who had received the usual notice preliminary to eviction, were moved into a condition of false security, and the last person they anticipated an-ticipated a visit from was the sheriff.
