arrived during the evening". and the
police remained on the premises al
night. Meanwhile the telegraph ~ir-.
had been put into operation, and neni
morning an additional d~etsrhmen; Il
81 csnstables arrived on the scene. Ia
the mids, Of this little army fcnton
issued from the house to execute
his legal mission. The first hoase
visited was that II William flsherfy.
Women surrounded the door. and
A. Fcntan advanced tn effect service they

The police then charged all round with
their sword bayone,s, wounding several
severely. The women were then
bayoneted right and left, and n Of
them. Mrs. Couneslly, sustained such
injuries that the las, rites 81 the church
had la be administered Ia her by the
Rev. L. j. Newell. the Roman Catholic
prizes, Of the place. who was an eye
witness II the scene. The Rev. Mr..
Newell. il may be mentioned, hsd ex-
erted himself "a prevent any resistance
on the par, Of the people. and previous
to the charge he addressed them in Irish,
urging them not TO interfere. The police
then proceeded Ia the cabin IL a man
named Conneally, shout three hundred
yards distance. They smashed open
the door, which was closed, and service
was effected. James Mackle's house
WAS next visited. The ome again
surrounded the door and endeayorcd To
wres; the process from fen,on. The
police charged n second time indiscnm-
inately. knocking some of the people
down, and, IL il stated, bayoncting n
man while on the ground numerically.
Up to this the men had not interfered
beyond crowding round. and no missiles
were thrown ut the c~onstabulary
but now sticks and stones were
freely used, and n terrible melee
ensued. The police became much cN-
cited, not unnaturally, and ai las, fired
some shots over the heads 81 their as
s~ailants. Then the process server at
tempted Ia deliver the document. The
women, as before, snatchcd il out II his
hand and DESTROYED il. Sub-lnspec,or
Gibbons rushed into the house, and ~
he advanced to the hearth Mrs. Msckle
lifted a blazing turf and smashed II on
his neck. Smarting from the burning
the officer rushed back 10 the door, and
i'm the struggle his sword was Knocked
out If his hand. The commanding Of
ficer considered that the situation was
now too critical Ia act without the pres
encc Of 4 magistrate whose orders
would relieve the constables Of the legal
responsibility Of the conflict with the
peasantry. Accordingly the whole force
was Withdrawn and concentrated ut the
police barrack in the village. where the
-t,.t t.r prut.att.n
Reinforcements had been telegraphed
for to all the most p~eaceablc districts of
ireland, and drafts Of constables were
forwarded to Galway from such remote
points as Fernmnagh in the northwest
and Kilkenny in the southeast. As fast
~ they arrived in the Town of Galway
they were sent on to Connemara, and,
as has been stated, last night over three
hundred cons,ables were quartered In
and around the village II Carrraoe.
Considerable difficulty is likely TO be
experienced in attempting to provision
the little army Of occupation. The
people will sell them nothing. On
Sunday two carloads Of bread and
meat were dispatched from Galway. But
the people on the road stopped them
and carried away the contents. On Mon
day n cart load Of bread Was sent for
ward under an escort of - men and
reached its destination in safety 10 the
ioy of the half-famished c~onstables, who
were already complaining Of short COM
mons. They report that the only arti-
Gle to be had in abundance is-whisky.
Although this disturbance at Carraroe
has been the most formidable thing
which has yet happened in the way Of
resistance TO law il is right tn mention
that il is by no means an isolated occur
renee. A fortnight ago some ejeciment
writs were being served by n man named
Tully on some tenants Of Mr.. francis
Comyn, a small land owner in this part
of C~onnenara. Mr.. Comyn had made
himself conspicuous last October by
letters in the London Times, in
he denounced in strong terms the
body of Connaught ~tenantry.
When Tully attempted To serve the
writs the people gathered around and
compelled him TO ear them up himself.
They did not otherwise ll-treai him.
Ten men who were conspicuous in the
transactions have since surrendered and
are To be tried at the next sessions.

magistrates Of Galway County, accom-
