On Sunday week, an open-air meeting was held in the

parish of Caragh, in the county of Kildare, to adopt measures for resisting the claims of the Rector, the Reverend Mr. Grant. This meeting was remarkable, as being attended by almost all the principal farmers in the parish. One of the landowners presided, and it was understood that several others gave to the object of the meeting their countenance and cooperation.

The following paragraph from the Dublin correspondent of the Times refers to a dispute respecting a race, which was won by a horse of Mr. Rad:wen junior ; who is charged with some unfairness in entering him.

" The delicate investigation at Navan has been broken off without a final decision on the charges put forward against Mr. E. Itutliven, M.P. for the county of Kildare. The Earl of .Miltown, at whose instance the inquiry was held, having brought over witnesses from England, dentaraled that his mare Caroline, regarding whose age and lineage the matter of accusation arose, should he produced for examination. This Mr. Ituthyen declined doing, and demanded his right to examine witnesses on his own behalf. The judges, three gentlemen selected from the Turf Club, decided that the mare should be sub- mitted to further scrutiny ; but as Mr. Euthyen still adhered to his determi- nation on this point, and as the parties could not agree as to the course of exa- mination, the Court resolved upon vacating their functions without pronouncing an opinion upon the merits of the case. The affair is likely to get into the law courts, in the form of several actions for damages. The keeper of the match- book has announced his determination to pay the amount of the disputed stakes into court, to abide the issue of the litigation. The matter is to be brought before the Turf Club at the Curragh meeting in April. A transaction of this kind has not disturbed the equanimity of the Irish sporting world for many years past."
