Enormous pressure is being brought here to Compel the purchase of this estate under the Ashbourne act, but the movement is being Just as stoutly resisted. Lord Clauricarde intends to renew the evictions from bis estate at as early a day as possible. Toe e victors, with the assistance of the magistrates, have resorted to a clever trick to effeot an entrance into barricaded houses. The tenants occupy' ing these houses are summoned, to give evidence in star ohamOer proceedings. If they obey the summons they are kept waiting the whole day before being permitted to testify. If they refuse to give evidence they are imprisoned, so that in either case they are absent from their homes when the bailiffs arrive. Mr. Balfour has given instructions that the coercion act must be carried out with the utmost vigor, and his orders are being literally obeyed. It is expected that the military will be called upon to use their rifles in the endeavor to eject the Cianricarde tenants, as all of the housefe on that estate are strongly barricaded and the occupants armed.
