BELFAST AUGUST 81, 1872.
After my despatch closed last night police con-
stable, named James Moore, was shot dead by o
man standing In the doorway of 70 Norfolk street,
In the Protestant district. The constant success
sion Of pistol shots from this street induced the
authorities to institute q search for arms, and
measures were adopted to bring about general
seizure. Subj Inspector Hogel and a number OF
men were told off for this hazardous duty. When
they entered the street the crowds began to sur
round them, and 1t was quite apparent that mis-
chief was intended While few men entered one
OF the houses man was seen deliberately to aim
at Moore, who fell on his face with
A BULLET II Els HEART.
Tho excitement and indignation grew intensely,
and had the police been in stronger force IL Is I'M
possible TO conjecture what horrors might have
been enacted. The corpse was taken to the MOrgue
and a number OF arrests were instantly made. 1t

tlamen and the Thrty-fourth regiment and the
Sixty-second regiment arrived to-day. This would
give total of about $500 men; and beside general
officers, there are close upon dozen stpendiary
| magistrates engaged In the struggle to restore
| order. This enormous force has been on duty for
| five days, and some OF the men, especially in the
cavalry, look as though they had been on a cam
