THE BELFAST RIOTS.-GOVERNMENT

INQUIRY.

On Saturday the inquiry into the recent distur.
bances at Belfast was resumed before the commis-
sioners, Messrs Lynch, Q.C., and Smythe, Q.C.
There was a large attendance.

Hugh Graham, a man about 50 years of age, ap-
peared befo!e the commissioners to state that he
was grossly assaulted on the previous evening. He
was working in High-street, and he left off at 7
o'clock in the evening, and came through Eglinton-
street into Donegal-street; four persons came be-
hind him whom he did not know, but if he saw them
again might know them. They asked him to curse
the Pope.
To Mr. Smythe—I am a Catholic.

To Mr. O'Rorke—l said the Pope was well enough
prayed for, without them or me minding him. I was
knocked down by one of them with a blow of a stick,
and when I was down, they beat and kicked me. 1
was on the broad of my back • one of them said he
would give me something that would do me for a
bit. The person who said this, then gave me a
blow of a stick on the arm which I had put up to
defend myself. _ _ _

[The witness, whose arm was bandaged, was about
to take off the bandage and show the wound, but
the commissioners said it was not necessary. Blood-
stains could be seen on the bandage.]
I have been all my life in Belfast, and the lik•
never was done to me before.

To Mr. Lynch—l never was in Pound-street ex-
cept on an errand.
To Mr. Faulkner—l told a constable I met that
I had been beaten. I saw none to come to my as-
sistance. I never gave any offence to the protes-
tant party, or to any protestant here. lam not
known as a party man, but I am a Catholic, and
will never deny my religion.
Mr. Purcell, barrister, who appeared for the
Orangemen of Belfast, applied to the commissioners
to permit the testimony of his clients to be reduced
to writing in the form of a declaration, and verified
before the commissioners as true.

The Commissioners stated that a similar applica-
tion had been made to them by the other side, but
they saw no reason to alter the course they had
already pursued.

Mr. Lynch also stated that it was no part of the
object of their inquiry to bring punishment upon
any individual They were there to ascertain the
causes of the late disturbances.

Mr. Faulkner objected to the court being turned
into a police-office to hear cues of common assault
like Graham's from day to day.
Mr. Lynch said the case was within the scope of
their inquiry.
The Rev. W. Martin, one of the Catholic curates
,af Belfast, was then examined, but there was no-
thing important in his evidence.
Mrs. Donohoe, a catholic, gave an account of the
wrecking of her house on the 14th July. She never
had a meeting in her house, and had given no
offence that she knew of.

_ .
Mary Donohoe, daughter of the last witness,
stated that she met a crowd of about 100 persons on
the 16th July. They abused her, and went and
wrecked the house of one Russel), a Presbyterian,
who refused to joia them. On the 18th a dozen and
a half of boys came up to her and threatened to
blow out her brains if she did not curse the Pope.
Other witnesses gave similar evidence.

James Carolin, examined by Mr. Rea, stated—l
am a Catholic. lam a compositor, working in the
Ulsterman office. I recollect returning from work
on the morning of the 13th of July, at half-past
five o'clock. I was at my own door, when I
saw five or six town constables. I saw eighteen
or twenty other men, who were erecting an arch
of orange lilies ; this was in Stanley-street.
The constables were standing with the men.
They were using a ladder to erect the arch.
I saw them five or ten minutes at it. The
constables were there all that time. I was at a dis-
tance from them, and could not know them. On
Tuesday evening shots were fired from a yard in
Stanley-street into my house ; this was about eight.
1 saw a Sandy-row mob cheering, and shouting,
and firing. A great number of shots were fired • on
Saturday evening I heard shots fired on both sides.
I know a vacant house. in Stanley-street. I saw fir-
ing from it on Sunday morning ; the firing was
kept up from that house all the week. On Sunday I
saw a gun presented from thehouse. Sergeant Hen-
derson and another policeman were present. He
told us to come out of the road, as the man was
lowering the gun to fire. On Tuesday evening a
shot came into my house. It came through the
window and smashed a picture on the opposite wall.
The.ball was given toSergeant Henderson. Another
ball caime in and want into the mattress on the bed.
My sitter left the house. On Saturday evening I
was afraid to go home from fear of being shot.
The examination of this witness concluded the
sitting.
On Sunday Mr. Hanna made another attempt to
preach in front of the Custom-house. Large crowds
assembled, and the Mayor interposed. A slight
disturbance followe'd, which was soon quelled, and
the crowd became quite tranquil. 400 constabulary
were patrolling in different districts.

INTERESTING CASE OF TRANSFUSION.—This opera-
tion was on7cessfully performed on Wednesday last,
by Mr. Wheatcroft, surgeon, of Cannock, on the person
of a woman named Wood, residing there. Immediately
after her Acconchement fearful haemorrhage .set in,
draining the woman of blood. She felt herself dying,
and summoned her husband to her bedside, to bid him
" Good-bye," and earnestly requested him to take care
of the children when she was no more. She then became
pulseless and gasping, occasional breathing being the
only indication of lite. A vein was opened is her arm,
and one in the arm of her husband, and as the blood
flowed from the latter it was transmitted by suitable
apparatus into the veins of the wife. After 17 ounces
had been thus izjected, the pulse became perceptible,
the colousless lips reddened, the glassy eye brightened,
and she thankttily said, "I am better." The case has
progressed very favourably, andthe woman is recovering.
