About 160 head of cattle and 50 sheep belonging to the Gurtalough tenants, who have adopted the Plan of Campaign, having been refused an abatement by their Landlord, Mr. Keane, Dublin, were sold by auction in the market square of Templemore on Feb. 28th, in the presence of a large crowd of spectators, and brought high prices. A number of police were drafted into the town for the occasion , but owing to the quiet demeanour shown by the people, had their tramp for nothing.
