McCann, (United Press ‘Staff Correspondent) Dublin, Jan, 30.—(By Mail)—De- spite the government’s recent threat to “sweep the Sinn Fein courts from the face of ‘the earth,”: the: courts, both civil and Jand; are carrying on daily—hunted from “house to-house and town to town,; sometimes escap- ing daily by an apparent miracle and sometimes meeting_boldly with mili tary and auxiliaries passing the win- dows of the “court-house,” usually a private residence.: " ° 7 From local unauthorized 'Sinn' Fein courts, amounting.’'to soviets, = the is a real institution, with real judges appointed by’ Dail!

It is an idea, how- ever, backed by British laws of thir- ty-odd years’ standing. The courts are appointed = by the government, with authority if they deem it justi- fied ;to award to farmer claimants| sufficient land to maintain them- selves, awarding an assessed value to the landholder—if a compromise price cannot be reached. - But the courts, according to Sinn Fein, move over- slowly. * Consequently ~every ' year there was land agitation; resulting in impoverished farmers breaking fences of big estates, driving off the own- ers’ cattle and grazing their own on the land. Sinn Feiners in some badly, congested areas instituted their own land courts. They held trials and en- forced their ~decisions ‘when - neces- sary by the authority of the local, The system, however, was unauthorized: by ‘Dail Eireann and was opposed, largely on the ground that land agitation retard- ed the republican movement.
