Boyce, an unfortunate, 'wed charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a breast-pin of th• value of £3, the property of Mr. Robert Francis, lodging house-keeper, No. 109, Piccadilly. The prosecutor said—About ono o'clock this morning I was coming down Piccadilly, and when I arrivod at Eogino-stroot I turned down there and wont down about 20 yards. The prisoner followed me down and accosted me. I told her to be off, when she caught hold of my watch dials. I took it out of her hand, and she then pushed against and seized my pin, and kicked me in a dangerous part. A constable came up and I then gave her into custody. Mr. Knox—Was she drunk or sober ? Prosecutor—She appeared to bo tipsy. Prisoner—l know him quite wall ; I have seen him fre quently. Prosecutor —Never in your life—it's qui to false. Pitman, 139 C—l saw the prosecutor holding the pri soner in Engine-street, and the prosecutor gars her in charge for stealing his pin. Sho said it was a falsehood. At the station the female searcher found the piu in the prisoner's mouth. Mr. Knox—Had the parties been drinking. Constable—Yes, both of them. Mr. Knox —ls the prisoner known to the police ? Inspector Draper—l don't know at present. Prisoner-1 have mot the prosecutor frequently, and he gave me a trills of money, And told MO to koop his pin till the evrning, when he would redeem it, aad ho afterwArde wanted it back, and I refuisi to give it to him, and put it in my mouth. Mr. Knox—The case is not without suspicion on my mind. The prosecutor's statement is an old ono certainly. Is the prisoner known as an unfortunate I Inspector Draper—She is, and she frequ fats Picea lilly. Mr. Knox—Then if she had been in trouble you would have known it. The case is a very strange one. Ths prosecutor is going home, and when within three doors of his house turns down a street, and the constable finds him in company of an unfortunate. The point which 1 have to determine is whether 71 .1 .10 stole the pin, or whether the prosecutor's story is true. I have only the avoid of a drunken man and a drunken woman. It is a CAMe in which Ito jury will convict, and I must discharge the prisoner. The prosecutor will of course have his pin back. THAMES. SUICIDE IN Pntsox.—Among the persons to be brought up to-day before Mr. Partridge was an unfortunate woman named Maria Smith, aged 65, and who was described as a general dealer of 15, Petticoat-lane, Whiteclipel. She wos charged on Tuesday last with stealing a felt hat, value 45., the property of John Williams, from 2, Upton terracP, Commercial-road East, and four caps, value 12s. the property of some persons unknown. Patrick Collins, 94 K, believed the prisoner had given a false address. It was now reported that the prisoner had committed suicide by hanging herself in the cell in which she was confined in Clerkenwell House of Detention. Mr. rartridge said that the ease was at an end as far as ho was concerned, and he would mark the charge shoot " Committed suicide in prison." THE BELGIAN RIFLEMEN AND IHE ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS. The arrangements for the reception of the Bel gian riflemen.are assuming a form which promises complete success. The Reception Committee have been working assiduously, and it is gratifying to find that no member of the executive body has dis played more interest in all that can conduce to making the entertainment to the Belgians one worthy of our Volunteers and of our English people than the Honorary President, the Prince of Wales. His Royal Highness has determined on being in London at the time of the visit of the Belgian riflemen ; and we are happy to add that the King of the Belgians will be here too. As he led his people in their magnificent reception of the Volunteers, the Volunteers will rejoice in his Majesty's presence among us when we are entertaining those of his subjects who have accepted the return invitation. The English Volun teers have already made arrangements for two grand entertainments at the Agricultur.il Hall, the management of which has been intrusted to Mr. Defries. On one evening there will be a ball and supper, and on another a concert and supper, to which the Volunteers will be invited as guests. There is every probability that the Belgian riflemen will bo conveyed from Ostend to Loudon-bridge in Admiralty steamers, and that immediately on landing they will be marched to Guildhall, and there entertainned by the civic autho rities. Miss Burdett Coutts has intimated her desire to give them a fete, and more than one noble man has solicited the sanction of the Reception Committee to receive the visitors at a banquet. It is, however, the wish of the committee that, apart from private hospitalities, there should be a national reception, befitting the character of the country, and therefore they are anxious that the subscriptions of Volun teer " corps and of the public should be sent in at once. The city of Brussels presented to each of our Volunteers a handsome silver medal and bar commemorative of the visit. The Executive Com mittee of the English Volunteers have given orders for the manufacture of a beautiful badge, which will be presented to each of the Belgian riflemen visiting London. If the public second the efforts of those to whom the management of the reception has been intrusted, this visit of the Belgian riflemen will be creditable to our national force and to the country generally. The Owl says it is understood in the clubs that a proposal will shortly be brought forward by Ministers to inercaso the allowance of tho Prince of Waled. LEATH OF THE REV. CANON BANKES.—The Rev.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER• (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Pigott and a Common Jury.) REEVES V. THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS CO. This was an action brought to recover compensa tion i❑ datnigs for injuries sustained through the negligence of the servants of the London General Omnibus Company. Mr. D. D. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Fourd appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson and lir. Nasmith for the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff . - Reeves, a young man of about twenty-four years of age, residing in the neighbourhood of Hampst2 td, on the 28th of January last left his home a little before nine o'clock, and returned a little after nine with his arm broken and otherwise injured. It appeared from his evidence that th e p l a i n tiff was proceeling down the yard belongi ng to the Omnibus Company, when he was run agai ns t b y one o f the company's omni buses, which was driving furiously down, and re ceived the injuries stated. Ilis med;cal attendant (Dr. Cook) stated that his arm was peculiarly frac tured and the nerve was injured. It had wasted and was paralysed, and it was probable that the paralysis would never entirely leave him, or that he would be completely cured. Other medical testimony was corroborative. The timekeeper to the omnibus stated that the omnibus 7,217 was there at 9 o'clock, and 6,170 at a little after. The sister came to him and asked what time the omnibus went down, and he told her. lie did not know it was the regulation to lead the horses down. There was a light at the place where the plaintiff was standing. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson said that he sub mitted there was no case ; first, because it was not shown that the injury was done by one of the com pany's omnibuses at all ; and, secondly, that then was no evidence of ntgligence at all.

(Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Justice Cock burn, and Justices Blackburn and Mellor.) WATKIN V. HALL. Mr. Kirby applied to the Court on behalf of the plaintiff, for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why a plea, which he had placed on the ground, should not be withdrawn, as being calcu lated to embarrass the case, which is set down for hearing, and being consequently opposed to the 52d section of the Common Law Procedure Act, passed in the reign of George IV. The slander was in words spoken by the plaintiff, in which he was alleged to have stated publicly that the plain tiff, who is a member of Parliament and chairman of the South-Eastern Railway, and chairman and director of other railway companies, had failed and was insolvent, and conveyed an innuendo that the state of the company's affairs and their stock being depreciated in value was owing to his embarrass ment. The plea which it was proposed to strike out of the record was that the defendant merely repeated a rumour current on the Stock Exchange, and he denied that he had said more than that it was reported the plaintiff had failed, not that he was actually insolvent, and he disclaimed any in tention of conveying the innuendo in question. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that the ;proper course would be to demur to the pleading. The motion was accordingly ref use d. IN THE MATTER OF AN ATTORNEY. This was, a case iu which a rule nisi was obtained, calling on the defendant to show cause why he should not pay over a sum of £175 to a gentleman named Smith, and the defendant appeared against the rule being made absolute. He stated that he was an attorney, and the only object he had in retaining the money was to secure himself against any ulte rior proceedings, and expressing his readiness to pay it into the hands of a solicitor for Mr. Smith or his sister. It appeared that a lady, a friend of Mr. Smith's, was desirous of emigrating to Australia, and applied to him for funds to enable her to go there with her daughter, and he pl ►eed a sum ►n the hands of the attorney in the case, on the condition that it was to be laid out in an outfit and the payment of the passage of the lady and her daughter when they were on board the vessel. He latterly altered her intention of emigrating, and it appeared that she was a married woman, and her husband claimed the money. In this state of things Mr. Smith desired the attorney to pay the lady's daughter a portion of the money, and to remit the remainder to his sister, Miss Smith. He altered his intention with regard to the latter, and dir,!eted that the money should be sent to him, so that the attorney was in doubt as to what party he should pay. The Court considered that the claim of the hus band of the lady was preposterous, and that the attorney should have immediately returned the money to Mr. Smith. The rule was accordingly made absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (More Mr. Registrar Pepys.) IN RE L I EUTENANT -COLONEL S. A. DICKSON. This bankrupt was formerly M.P. for Limerick and a lieutenant- colonel of the Limerick Militia, and to-day was appointed for the proof of debts. The bankrupt presented a petition some time since, but it was dismissed by Mr. Commissioner Goul bourn through some informality in the three days' statement, the bankrupt being sent back to prison, where he was recently adjudicated a bankrupt by Mr. Registrar Pepys, who discharged him from custody. The statement already filed shows debts to the extent of £12,000, and the bankrupt has considerable property, which has, however, been mortgaged. The proceedings to-day were purely formal, and a day was named for the next meeting. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Beforo Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) ARRAMAMS Y. ANSELL. This was an action to reeoVer --- .Z7 7 163. for providing a supper for 52 Foresters at 3s. a head. It appeared that some time since the plaintiff was requested to furnish a supper for a Foresters' Court, and ho agreed to do so. Tickets were printed, and a notice was sent out with them that if they were not returned by a certain day it would be understood that the persons to whom . they were ad dressed would be liable for the price. Plaintiff provided the supper, and a .certain number- sat down to it ; and plaintiff now sued defendant, who was ono of the com mittee, for the whole amount. Defendant said he was only ono meMbor of the com mittee, and there seven other persons joined with him. He did not think he was liable for the whole amount. Plaintiff stated that he received the order for tho supper through defendant. Hismyour Honour follow (to must get the eney from defendant.)—you At presentyou are liable to the plaintiff.

After his morning exercise yesterday, and a few hours' .rest, Vauban, contrary to general expecta tion, left here . for Paris, to compete in the Grand French Prix, and his action will suit better in that race than in the Derby. Caucasus accompanied him, to make a pace, and should it be good enough he ought to endorse the correctness of the Two Thousand result. Lord Ronald took Harpenden n mile and a half ; and Redcap was leading the two year old colts, and Ischia the young fillies. Lecturer, Miss Havelock, and John Davis galloped nearly two miles. Lady Elizabeth, after cantering, went a mile fast. • THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. LAMBOURNE.

TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING. There waslhe customary after-Derby crush at Albert gate to-day, and from an early hour till late the business of paying and receiving engrossed the attention of mem bers. It had been generally supposed and feared that the settling would prove a bad one, but the reverse was 'the case, as the money came in freely enough, and the instance's of absenteeism were confined to a few .small men. One nobleman, who is known to have lost an enormous amount; was the first to settle his account. We understand that he discharged a portion of his claims on Saturday last, and that his representative at the clubs entered the chief establishment immediately the doors wore opened this morning, and paid every shilling that was duo. Tho book makers are almost all heavf losers by the Derby, whilst the general public have reaped but little advantage, those who gained by Hermit being, for the most part, " winners against their.will." This is easily explained by the fact that during the winter and early spring Mr. Chaplin's colt was backed at . a short price, and when the horse subse quently retreated to any price in the quotations there was no opportunity of hedging. Mr. Chaplin, the owner, his confederate, Captain Mitchell, Sir Frederick Johnstone, and one or two others, appropriate the bulk of the win nings between them, and there has, perhaps, never been a Derby when so large an amount has beou confined to so small a circle. It is almost superfluous to say that for the nonce speculation on future events was at a complete stand still. There were occasional offers of 3 to lon the St. Leger, which met with no response, and no other event was mooted. SOILED DOVE CASE.—The following notice iu re ference to this case was posted in the room : "Committee-room, Tattereall'e, Saturday, May 25, 1867. " The Committee of Tattersall's having received a letter from certain members of the Rooms relating to tho Soiled Dove Case, resolve— " That a decision having bean already came to by a lega quorum of the Committee, they cannot allow it to bo re opened, nor will they consent to abdicate their functions by allowing the case to be referred to any other tribunal. The Committee cannot allow reflections such as those con tained in the above-named letter to be cast on any of their members without expresaing their strongest condemnation of them, whether proceeding from a member of the Jockey Club or from members of the Rooms. " The Soiled Dove Case has been decided on its merits alone, and the judgment must be arbitrary, and will be en forced. "R. R. CHRISTOPHER, Seeretnrv. "By or:,er of the Committee." lIIIPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—TiIIs EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on tho woolsack at four o'clock. THE HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION (IRELAND) ACT CONTINUANCE (No. 2) BILL. Lord REDESDALE moved the third reading of this bill, and it was passed. NATIONAL DEBT BILL. The bill was read a third time and passed. • INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE BILL The House again went into CommitteeWontlVilill. The ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY said that, as far as ho was concerned,. he accepted the amendment of the Noble Earl. • Earl GREY was understood to say that the objections which he offered to the bill as it formerly stood wan the clauses that regulated the suffragan or assistant bishops, and he considered that by amendment these were removed. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said " one" instead of " ono or more parsons." The EARL of DEVON said that he thought the Noble Earl opposite had provided an excellent amendment, and ho quite concurred with him as to the clause that he had provided with regard to the assistant; that ho had used a very wise discretion, and would be efficient to the public. Several other technical objections were made by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and remarks from the Bishops of Oxford, London, and Peterborough as to the fact that trio assistant bishops might be - selected from any clergy man, whether he held a position as a dignitary in the dio cese or not, and objection to that being madoon the ground that a dean, canon, or archdeacon acting as an assistant bishop would retain his position in the diocese, while the simple clergyman would relapse from the same position to be a simple clergyman again, but it also being urged that a bishop would be sure to select some dignitary of the diocese. The bill pass , :d through com mittee. • (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. —TIIIS DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL, Tli house w.mt into committee on this The discussion was resume' upon the proposal to adopt the following reconstruction of the 35th clause : --" Where any occupier of a dwAling-houso or other tenement for which the owner at the time of the passing of this act is rated, or is liable to be rated, would be entitled to bo registered as occupier in pursuance of this act, at the first registration of Parlia mentary voters to be made after the passing of this act, if ho had been rated to the poor rate for the whole of the re quired period, such occupier shall, notwitatunding he may not have been rated prior to the 29th September, 1867, as an ordinary occupier, be entitled to be registered subject to the following conditions : first that ho has been duly rated as an ordinary occupier to all poor rate, , , in re spect of the premises, after the liability of the owner to be rated to the poor rate has ceased under the provi sions of this act ; second, that he has before the 20th July, 1868, paid all poor rates which have become payable from him as an ordinary occupier in respect to the premises up to the preceding sth day of January, together with all the arrears of poor rates, if any, due from the owner before his liability to be rated e3ased as hereir bef ore mentioned." Mr. DENNA..Ii objected to the insertion of the date, viz , 20th July, 1863 ; he thought the matter should be left open. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho could not agree 'with the hon. and learned gentleman. It was desirable that the measure should be a complete one, and he hoped the house would adopt the Clause_ as it stood. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the matter very important. There was an amendment, however, previous to it which ho thought it desirable should be made in the last proviso, 'and that was to introduce the words "or shall have been cl<nnauded" after the word "payable" in the last proviso. With respect to the date in thv clause he thought it would be deLirable to insert instead of that the words "the day appointed by the act," because the ruattrr of dissolutio❑ was connected with it. He thought that if the 20th of July was fixed tho act would not cone into operation until December, 1868, or possibly January, 1869. He therefore moved the omission of the words 20th of July, 1868, in order to iuse:t the words, •' the day appointed by the act." Mr. GOLDNEY thought it best to allow the date to stand. The proposal of the right hon. gentleman would entail another discussion on the motion at another and later part of the deliberation. The first part of the amendment was agreed to, but that relating to the date 20th January was withdrawn, after an. intimation from the Government bench that the date was not inserted as a positive and unalterable one. Mr. MONK thought the words after the sth of January should be omitted. It they were retained the tenant voted be liable .fur the payment of arrears, however far hack. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the objection to the words well founded, and therefore ho would agree to their b3ing struck out, and the clause end hug with the words "5,h of Jauuary." Mr. P. SCROPE, who had an arneud:nent on the paper, thought that would be the proper time to bring it forward. The amendment or addition to the clause was as follows: "Provided that no parson, whether owner or occupier of a dwelling house within any Parjiamentary borough► the. rateable value of which shall be less than £4, be hereafter rated to the relief of the poor in respect of such dwelling house." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it would not be in accordance with order for the hon. gentle man to proceed with the amendment at present: Thu CHAIRMAN having ruled that it was quite in ac cordance with order for the hon. gentleman to proceed, Mr. P. SCROPE then moved his provision, end said that tho present time was th ' first that It; had brought the subject under the consideration of the house. He had dose so in 1858, but the matter was looked upon with distaste ; but that circ,unistauee had nut at all daunted the interest he felt in the matter. Iu nearly all taxation acts certain exemptions wero made, as in tho income act no person was taken whose income did not exceed .£lOO. He could cite various other cases iu which exemptions were made on account of the poverty of the person liable to the taxa tion; and that being so in many instances, he did not seo why the usual reservation be exempted or ignored in the act under discussion. _ _ Mr. IiIIiBERT opposed the proposition, as he looked upon it as an attempt to limit the franchise. Under these circumstances he should vote against the hou. member. Viscount CRANBORNE said he should support the proposition, although he should have much preferred that the hon. member had fixed the amount at £1 higher, and then he could have adopted the proposal of the hon. member for Finsbury. The line was cut short in the in come-tax at V. 00; it was cut short at £2O, and yet it was proposed to go to the very bottom of the line in respect to the qualification for the franchise. Mr. HENLEY hoped the house would reject the pro posal, especially as there had been a very general objec tion to have any hard and fast lino in the bill: (Rear, hoar.) Re did not think that the refusing to adopt the proposition would lead to the increase of corrupt practices at elections. Mr. GREGORY thought the house had fixed a hardand fast hue last night, when they set the qualification for the county franchise at £l2. He had, however, a proposition which he thought preferable to that of the hou. member for Stroud, which he should be quite prepared to bring forward at the proper time. lie, how ever, would take the opportunity of saying he should have no objection to after his amendment so as to throw the paymeht of the whole of the taxes 'below £4 upon the landlord. Mir. HUBBARD supported the preposition of the mem. ber for Stroud. Mr. BRIGHT thought it was rather late to discuss matters connected with the borough franchise. In the year 1858 he (Mr. Bright) addressed numerous meetings in the principal towns on the subject of Reform, and it would perhaps be an interesting fact for hon. gentlemen opposite to know that, with regard to the borough franchise, the proposition in the bill brought forward by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exeheq uer was precisely that which he then recommended. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He held in his hand a copy of the bill, which he brought forward at the time, and from which it would be seen that with respect to the occupiers of dwel ling-houses, those persons excused from payment of rates on the ground of poverty, and those who paid their rates by the 20th of July—(hear, hear)—the bill of the right hon. gentleman entirely corresponded. Her Majesty's Government had brought forward a bill which exceeded the extromest measure with respect to the borough franchise that he ever remembered either in public or in private, and therefore he -considered it would be ungrateful and unhandsome if he were to say anything against it or to withdraw his support from them. (Laughter, and cries of "Hear, hear.") He could not approve of the proposition of the hon. member fur Stroud, because ho looked upon it as one that would restrict the franchise. The change of opinions of hon. gentlemen opposite that had taken place during the last twelve months would bo looked upon as marvels of the times. ("Hear, hear," and laughter.) It had been advantageous to them, and it would bo advantageous to the country. They had done a great and good thing, and he thanked them from the bottom of his heart for the conclusion at which they had arrived. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the lion. gentleman the member for 13!rminghain had just favoured the house with one of those speeches remarkable for its incoherent conciliation. (Laughter.) Ho desired that they had changed their opinions since last year. (Loud and derisive cheers from tho Opposition.) The party then in power brought forward a pian for the reconstruction of that house. (Hear, hear.) They on this side of the house thought it Ives im perfect; they opposed it, and now they brought forward that measure with which they had been called upon to proceed, and which contained characteristics which the other did not possess. (Hear, hear.) If the proposal of the honourable member for Stroud was agreed to it would shake and disturb everything that had been already settled. (Hear, hear.) It was an attempt to undo by a sidewind what was against the spirit of the Legislature, and therefore its object would be to weaken the provisions of the bill. Mr. GLADSTONE strongly criticised the course the Government had pursued with respect to the bill, and said, in his opinion, the framework of the bill upon which they wore then engaged was consistent with the acts of her Ma jesty's Government on former occasions (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman then referred to the changes that had taken place in the Cabinet since the subject of Reform had been under consideration, and contended that consistency, as far as the majority of the Cabinet was concerned, evidently had been at a discount. He agreed with the hon. member from Birmingham, and for these reasons. He thought it would unsettle and en danger a measure which premised to be the greatest public benefit that had been accomplished for a long time. Mr. P. SCROPE said after the debate that had taken place he would withdraw his amendment. The great cause of non-success appeared to him to be that ho was too late. The amendment was then by leave withdrawn. sh M ou l l % d GnoßtEbeiriOngßfironsv':iirld :s et t; ii:evnildattnelinaLt taken place he which he embraced coinitte e t h t s h e e d n u c pr a o i r o zd a e ir franchise.

The hon. and learned member for Richmond (Sir R. Palmer) intended to take the sense of the house on the whole clause,.therefore ho 'thought it would be better to come to some conclusion whether the clause should remain in the bill before they went into a long discussion as to its provisions. Mr. FAWCETT hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would stand firm with respec t to the enactments of this clause. The proposals for disfranchisement, lie p.gretted to say d it was only by the Fawcett's) side of the house, . had invariably come f rom his (air. an coura geous manner in which the Chancellor had conducted the bill that they had born he s ucce q Exchequerluly aesisted. Sir It. PALMER said' the motives and purposes fer which these franchiios were - introduced having been got rid of by the withdrawal of the dual vote, he could ntlt see for what purpose they were retained, and, therefore, ho intended to move this clause be entirely struck out of the bill. After a discussion, the Chancellor of the Exchequer withdrew the clause. The sitting of tho house was shortly afterwards ad journed until 9 o'clock.

Tho following sensational hoax appeared in several of the evening papers of yesterday : _ _ "Cork, Monday. "On Thursiny night a military force was attacked at Mitehelitnwu by a large, Fenian force, who fought with bludgeoni and staves. A desperate fight ensued, in which many on both sides were siton to fall. "Ulti►nately till military were drip an off the field. Fuller details are wanting." A correspondent of the Cork Examiner describes the great battle and defeat of the military by the Fenians to be no more than the usual fight at au Irish fair. The following are the latest parti culars of the great fight : " Much excitement prevailed here last night, in consequence of a pretty smart row. The fair of yesterday was attended by a great number of people both from this and from the two adjoining counties , many of whom in the evening adjourned to public house. Among those who acted thus were about a half dozen young clever fellows , ' who, when excited with liquor, gave vent to such expres sions as the following—so report says---' The green above the red,' Three cheers for the Fenians,' &c. All, however, was soon hushed by the entrance of, 1 think, four soldiers, not to arrest them, but to allay their thirst. You are all aware—at least we people of Michelstown are—that the poor and indeed those of the middle class, for ten miles around Kilelooney, are not very kindly disposed towards the soldiers or police, and the feelings of those present formed no exception to the general rule. After a short time, iu what manner I know not, some angry words were exchanged between both parties, words came to threats, and threats to blows, the soldiers fighting manfully with their belts. But the odds were too great. In a few moments the numbers were five to one, our four friends made the best of their way out, and scam pered off to barracks, shouting vociferously, not without completely smashing the teeth of a poor tinker. Several of the mob were enraged at the idea that the soldiers were allowed to escape without re venge. After the arrival of the soldiers in barracks a picquet consisting of 15 men, beaded by a corporal, was dispatched to bring in all members of the force they met with. The picquet, however, was met by a shower of stones, and they,utterly disregarding the commands of their superior officer, and despite his wishes to the contrary, rushed on their assailants belts in hand. A terrible struggle ensued, when belts, and in the end bryonets, on one side, stones and shillelahs on the other, but all ended in favour of the mob, as the military were compelled to retreat, while stones and dubs were thrown from every direction at them.
