ARREST OF D'ARCY IRVINE.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Irvine drove into Enniskillen
with his son, carrying a revolver in one'hand. A number
of revolvers and guns were deposited beside him. About
four o'clock he alighted at the White Hart Hotel, and
shortly afterwards Inspector Kirtland and a body of
police entered the hotel and arrested Mr. Irvine on a
warrant, signed by Captain Butler, resident magistrate,
charging him with assaulting a constable ou the previous
evening, and firing a shot at his house in the main street.
A large crowd followed Mr. Irvine through the streets,
to whom he shouted, " Ireland will be free after this."
He added that he had sworn informations against Cap-
tain Butler, and called upon a surgeon to declare that ho
was ill. He was, however, conveyed to the county gaol, a
large crowd remaining outside the building for some time.
