At the village of Firies a number of people had assembled.

They stopped loitering about the place in the forenoon, waiting for a meeting of the National League, which was subsequently held.

A threatening notice was discovered posted up on the door of a house formerly used as a forge.

It ran as follows:-- "'NOTICE .-- If we are honoured by the presence of the bloodthirsty perjurers at Mass on any of the forthcoming Sundays, take good care you'll stand up very politely and walk out.

Don't be under the impression that all the Moonlighters are dead, and that this notice is a child's play, as Shawn Nelleen titled the last one.
