At 1 o'cicck to-day the investigation of the
charge of high treason against Captain Mackay was
resuiami at the county gaol by air Hamilton,
KM., Mr. Gillman, crown solicitor, conducting
the case for the prosecution, and the poisoner being
represented by Mr. M. J. Callow A number of
the policemen who were in the 13abyknockane
police barrack when it was attacked by the Fenian
in March last were examined, and clearly identified
the prisoner as the leader of the insurgents on that
occasion. Mrs. Brown, the wife of the constable

iu charge of the station, also made an in-
formation in which she identified the prisoner
as having been actively engaged in the cap-
ture of tho barrack. Thu informations dis-
close ono circumatauce rather creditable to
the prisoner. Benno the police surrendered
the barrack a stout resistauce was offered to its
assailants, and some or the latter were slightly
wounded by the shots delivered from the upper
windows of the building. demo of the insurgents,

molested the prisoners. 11, ho said, they had

hours detention, and not a shadow of insult was
offered to the wunien of the partv—the coustable's
wifeanddaughter—during their detention. lnaddi-
tiou to his identification as the leader in tho
Bellc-
knockauo affair, Mackay was also recognised, as 1
have already stated, as the person who conducted
the surpriais of the matted(' tower at Foaty. Thu
statement that he had beau identided as the leader
in the plunder of Allpart's shop was erroneous.
On being shown to the people connected with the
shop they all stated that he was not one of the men
culprit in the rubbery. At the ono:lesion of the
examination Mackay was committed for trial at
the ensuing assizes on the charge of high treason.

The disturbances in the streets last night have
been attended by a very large number of casualties,
and some respectable and perfectly innocent per-
sons appear to have bocu grossly maltreated by the
police, who, towards the close of the night, acted
with groat violence anti indiscretion. in the early
pall of the day, as I stated in my List letter,
the patience of tho euastables was certainly tried
sorely while escorting prisoners to llriduwell, a
duty which any one might have knoar. to to im-
perative. They were ::sailed with galling N Unt.,
of stones, coming chiefly from young boys, girls,
and the semi-drunken market women on the coat
quay These iadictions the mcu bore with gri at
temper, nut retaliating except when it nas :dist,-

s.lice 01 disorder did not, however, satisfy
the police. Parties of men wets despatched at
iutervals from the Tuck y-street guard-house ta pre-
vent the people from collecting alto crowds, and
the conduct of Ciese patrols was violent in the
extreme. They rtishett wittily into every knot of
persons of tht lower claw, km eked individas!,

and pricked with their bayonets these v:lai showed
soy reluctance to fly before them. This extra-
ordinary conduct ssieedily predi.ved great excite-
ment. In all directions crux's of people nerd to '1

volvers in their Lauds, and the whole force acted
AS if a desperate riot were going on, though all the
time there was not a trace of tumult or disorder in
the streets save chat the police themselves pro-
duced. A respectable man named Abeam, a
butcher, while passing through Tuekoy-street on
his way home, was set on by a lashes patrol,
knocked down, and severely baton about
the head and shoulder with the butts of their guns,
two severe scalp wounds being inflicted on his
head. A young lad, named Leary, flying before
the charges in tleurges-street, was overtaken
and cat down by a mounted policeman, receiving
wound which it was at first feared was mortal.
The buy is in the inlirmary, in a moat precarious
condition. About thins o'clock a number of people
took refuge in the shop of a tobacconist front an-
other charge, and some of the policemen actually
followed them into the shop, and there wounded
two or three with their bayonets. At eleven o'clock
the Riot Act was read, though the crowd was still
far from turbulent, and immediately after a party
of policemen were despatched down Paull-street,
where the fact of the act having been read could
not have been knowu, with orders to use their
bayonets freely, and to I believe they did. Alto-
gether, the conduct of the police was very repre-
hensible, and might in the present temper of the
peosile have led to even more serious consequences
e I than those which have occurred.
