on each side to take care not to commit any breach of the 

 peace, or they should be punished ; has not had any commu- 

 nication with Mr. Atkinson since that day, directly nor in- 

 directly ; did not hear the words, "Remember, boys" &c., dsed 

 by Mr. Atkinson ; heard some of the Bundoran party say that 

 they (themselves) might " cut away, and tear away," and these 

 words fell from them, leaving the court, after the case was over ; 

 deponent said he would do his best to prevent them from 

 killing salmon ; does not recollect having said that other people 

 might work at the same play ; he might have said so, but he 

 meant that he would prevent them from killing salmon on Mr. 

 Cassidy's fishery ground ; saw the cutter's boat come over on 

 Saturday last to that part of the coast ; it was her first visit ; 

 the Bundoran party was pretty near, and alongside them awhile ; 

 there were few days that a revenue cutter's boat might not have 

 gone over within the last six weeks, notwithstanding the 

 weather ; fishing-boats on the coast went out occasionally to 

 fish during that time. 



Cross-examined by Mr. TREDENNICK. Deponent has been 

 in the habit of hauling the nets when the Bundoran party 

 would come on Mr. Cassidy's fishery ground ; did so last year ; 

 a contract or agreement was made in presence of Mr. Hayden 

 as to the limits of the fishery, but the Bundoran men broke 

 the agreement ; Mr. Cassidy would not let them fish convenient 

 to his river ; cannot tell how often hehas hauled their nets in 

 the last seven years ; does not recollect having told his boat's- 

 crew what occurred on the subject ; thinks Mr. Hayden had 

 no right to prescribe limits to any man's property ; Mr. Cassidy 

 rents the fishery from Colonel Dickson ; no police went out 

 to Bundrowes last year. 



Daniel M'Caon examined by Mr. ATKINSON. Deponent 

 was here on the 19th of June ; recollects the fishery case being 

 called on ; it was dismissed ; the magistrates said they had no 

 power over it ; did not hear of any language used by the magis- 

 trates that could encourage the people to a breach of the peace ; 

 did not hear the words, " Remember , boys" &c. &c. ; was close
