BOYCOTTING IN IRELAND.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " sexcrxxoa.'1 Sra,—It may interest your readers to see two boycotting notices lately issued in the County Galway against two land- lords who ask for their rents. The first is printed and has been extensively circulated, the second is sent about in MS. copies :—
I.
" BOYCOTTING.-A. B. and her son, C. B., are now boycotted. Let no person work for, buy from, or sell to those cruel tyrants. They refused any abatement on their rents; they defy the power of the people. Let them taste a little of its effects. Servants of B., leave your situations at once, or else —. Shopkeepers of neighbouring towns, deal not with these vile despots, or if —. Herdsmen. Cease now to act for these Orange bigots, unless you wish to be —. Graziers and Cattle Dealers of Ireland, if you buy tbcir stock you may expect —. Down with landlordism ! Hurrah for the people !"
IL "X. Y. is BOYCOTTED.—Boycott that scoundrel that served his tenantry with ejectments, or if not, look out.—BILL BLAZES."
