portance whatever is attached TO the de-
plorable occurrence at Limerick. The attack
on the police was made by gang OF roughs,

vent party Of police, who were provided
with twenty rounds OF ammunition ps1 man,
from proceeding into the streets and retaliat-
ing Oh the mob for all the i'll treatment they
had received. Accounts received tonight
say that the number Of wounded have been
very much exaggerated. only some twelve
people being injured with buckshot, and one
with bayonet. Three are seriously wounded,
and one Constable was severely injured.

headed young policemen, who fred in DISC
bedience to the orders of the Head Constable

state.
A later telegram from Limerick says it is
apprehended that renewal of the riot will
take place tonight. The city is in state of
great excitement. The feeling against the
