Disturbed Ireland

The result of several days' incessant travelling in county Mayo is a very considerable modification of the opinion formed at the first glance at this the most disaffected part of Ireland. On reaching Claremorris in the heart of the most disturbed district, I certainly felt and not for the first time that as one approaches a spot in which law and order are supposed to be suspended the sense of alarm and insecurity diminishes to put it mathematically as the square of the distances.
