these cities waged actual war with each other, like Florence and Pisa, by sea and land.

Limerick was then called "Little London." [8] It was on the 17th October 1886 that Mr.Dillon first promulgated the Plan of Campaign at all at Portumna.
[9] Mr.Ponsonby's account of this affair will be found in the Appendix, Note G.The Post-Office Savings Bank deposits at Youghal, which were L3031, 0s.7d.in 1880, rose to L7038, 7s.2d.in 1887.

The deposits in the Postal Savings Banks of the three purely agricultural towns of Portumna, Woodford, and Loughrea, which in 1880, throwing off the shillings and pence, were respectively, L2539, L259, and L5500, rose in 1887 to L3376, L1350, and L6311, an increase of nearly L3000.

[12] At a hearing of cases before Judge Henn some time after I left Portumna, the Judge was reported in the papers as "severely" commenting upon the carelessness with which the estate-books were kept, tenants who were proceeded against for arrears producing "receipts" in court.

I wrote to Mr.Tener on this subject.

Under date of June 5th he replied to me: "Judge Henn did not use the severe language reported.
There was no reporter present but a local man, and I have reason to believe the report in the _Freeman's Journal_ came from the lawyer of the tenants, who is on the staff of that journal.
