facilities for escape. Patrick street was Kept COM
paratvely clear by the First Royal Dragons and
mounted constabulary, who swept through 1t at in

The scenes of violence in the North Main street
particularly positively dreadful and presented

1t would appear that the riots have assumed more
the form of a fierce and determined opposition of
authority than disturbances arising from trade
dispute There is still hope entertained that even
at the eleventh hour the mob will be deprived OF any
pretext for further disturbance by an amcable set

from end to end of Patrick street while numbers ran

being trampled under foot. A large force OF the
ways, while the mounted constabulary charged ithe

quays. This had the desired effect for time, but 1t

into the back streets. The scenes OF disorder and

all the leading avenues to the central artery OF the
city were swept by mounted constabulary and dra-
goons, supported energetcally by the constabulary
with liked bayonets. As each sally was made, the
people rushed headlong numbers falling on the road,
while the others passed over them; but their terror
was so great that they managed generally to
scramble out of the way Of danger. About 8
oGSck the police were drawn ana statl9ned IN seXe
the centre of the street, and the other at Cook
street, Maylor street and Marlboro street. Soon
after this hour, the news having gone abroad that
the riot had commenced again, several contingents
from the suburbs and extremities OF the town began

them from clustering and blocking up the thorough

charges after them, in one oi
