Ireland Under Coercion (2nd ed.) (1 of 2) (1888)

CHAPTER VI
5/74

Mr.Roche, in the hope of hearing a case set down for trial to-day, in which a publican named Harding, at Ennis--an Englishman, by the way--is prosecuted for boycotting.

The parties were in Court; and the defendant's counsel, a keen-looking Irish lawyer, Mr.
Leamy, once a Nationalist member, was ready for action; but for some technical reason the hearing was postponed.

There were few people in Court, and little interest seemed to be felt in the matter.

The Court-house is a good building, not unlike the White House at Washington in style.

This is natural enough, the White House having been built, I believe, by an Irish architect, who must have had the Duke of Leinster's house of Carton, in Kildare, in his mind when he planned it.
