A "Monster Winter-Assize Juror" writes to yesterday's Times, to give

specimens of the ominous threats launched by the Press against the Munster jurors who are to try the Kerry moonlighters apprehended by General Redvers Buller, and asks very pertinently whether Lord Salisbury is prepared to guarantee that the country, jurors and all, will not be handed over within the year 1887 to the tender mercies of the Member for South Tipperary (Mr. John O'Connor, M.P.), who has uttered some of the most flagrant of these threats, and others of his way of thinking and acting. Any Irish Local Government Bill which should give what the Irish do not ask for, but what is likely to be given to England and Scotland, would certainly go a great way towards placing the Minster jurors at the mercy • of the National League.
