gr0ss ex1ggeration In the newspaper accounts
OF the late riots In this country. This is BE-
cause the English and Irish papers are obliged
to depend for their news on the small towns

local. CORRESPONDENTS,
who generally are more than usually clever
farmers sons and shop assistants, whose
only hope of getting kilograms published IS
that they shall be spicy and exciting. Every
rumor is converted into fact, and fanclfnlly
colorcd. By the time the special correspond
ents arrive the mischief has been done.
Sir WILLIAM HAKcoCET
promptly denounced, in the Commons, tile
earlier reports of the Skibbereen riot, which
was much less serious than it was said to
be, and which was qucllcd as soon
as the police arrived OIL the scene"
Sfr. Shaw went to London to-day, and means
to deny on Monday, in the House OF COM
mons,:the exaggerated accounts Of the riot at
Cork the other night. He assured me
that, if the police had remained at
the race-course, tho riot would never
have been transferred to the streets OF Cork
and can testify that the chief participants
were small boys Of ages ranging from ~ 10
lo. Most Of those who were arrested were
Youths. The condition of the country IS TOO
serious to allow of these exaggcEatlons.
