THE AFFRAY WITH THE POLICJ

IN DUBLIN.

The scene of the conflict between the police and
the students of Trinity College, on the occasion of
the Lord Lieutenant's arrival, was visited by great
numbers of persons on Saturday and Sunday. A
petition on the subject to the Lord Lieutenant has
received more than 3,000 signatures. The law
agent of the university is engaged in completing the
evidence against the police. A parade of the mem-
bers of the mounted police took place in the Lower
Castle yard. Seven men were identified as having
been the most violent, and of these two had most
numerous chargeeftgainst them. The former had
au apparently severe wound upon the right side of
the face, close to the temple, and the front of his
coat and gloves were profusely stained with blood.
The latter was comparatively a young man, and
was rendered conspicuous from being the only one
of the party bearing a Crimean decoration.
Application was made on behalf of the police for
a similar opportunity of identifying their oppo-
nents. •
Lord Naas said that the men should get every
facility in this respect, and the parties being
stopped from quitting the yard, the first, Manly,
55 A, stated that a Mr. Wm. Thomes Pickering,
mare with °lYwcicdsto' Belfast, had struck him and his
stones, cutting the head of the latter
in three places, and that he had also use an um-
brella or walking-stick, and thrown a handful of
him. He also pointed out a Mr. James B.
lands, Dungannon, as having attempt-
edgsrma

station-house
were kept within the building. After breaking a
few windows, they were proceeding to the Sackville

aunders, of yesterday, gives the following ac-
count of the wounded ;—" Mr. Leeson, who is
suffering from concussion, is still, of course, in a
very precarious condition ; but any change that
has taken place since he sustained the injuries is
rather favourable than otherwise. Mr. Pollock's
symptoms were very unfavourable on Saturdae
night, but he was
not so ill yesterday. The other
gentlemen are going on in as satisfactory a manner
as can be expected from the nature of their wounds.
Mr. John B. Hamilton, though unarmed, was
struck down in the midst of 7 or 8 police constables,
and received a scalp
wound penetrating to the bone,
in addition to severe contusions on his left arm.
Sixteen constables were reported to Drs. Ireland
and Long as havingreceived injuries on Friday-7
of whom are said to be seriously hurt. There are
five head wounds, but no corcussion or fracture."
