MURPHYITE DISTURBANCE&

We (Manchester Guardian) learn by telegram
that the lecturer Murphy was twice knocked down in the
streets of Hanley last evening, by an Irishman named
Mecarthy, and that one of his eyes was blackened. A dis-
turbance was imminent ; but the police checked the ex-
citement by removing Macarthy in custody, sad leading
Murphy to his lodgings.
Loot evening there was some excitement at Bolton, iu
consequence of the arrival of Murphy's asidetinta. As
already stated, Murphy has rented a plot of ground, and
about 6 o'clock last evening two lorries from Bury
brought a large quantity of boarding, canvas, boxes, &c.
for the erection of a tent. The site he has obtained is a
held lying alongside the Bolton branch of the Lancashire
and 1 orkshire Railway. It appears that the ownership
et the land in question is disputed. II has been let to
Murphy by one party, but the railway company claim it.
With assistance Murphy'. men threw the boarding into
the field, but it had not lain there more than as
hour, when Mr. Izat, inspector of the permanent way,
appeared on the scene with about a score of men under
him, and by his instruction. the latter pitched the tim-
ber back again into the street. As the affair became
known large crowds gathered near the spot, and last
night between one and two thousand persons were
present. A body of polio were there to prevent any
disorder. Ono of Murphy's wen demanded protection
for his property, but he was told the police were not
there to meddle with the dispute, but simply to prevent
say breach of the peace.
