RIOT IN IRELAND.
The Entire Force of Militia
Called Out.
They Charge on the Mob
killing One Policeman and
Wounding 30 Citizens.

LoSD1N, June |. Further accounts from
Clonmel say that the riot commenced in
the following way: When Stoddard, agent
of the Emergency Committee, was leaving
court he was received with groans and misses.
A priest was passing out of the building when
the crowd made q rush into the building, a
policeman in confusion laid his hand on the
priests arm. At once the cry went up that
Father Maker had been arrested. The crowd
became fearfully excited. Authorities at
once concentrated the whole force of militia
and constabulary before the court house.
Bottles. stones and brick bats poured on the
police and soldiers. Captain Slack a resident
MAGISTRATE threatened TO read the riot act and
at that moment a policeman was knocked
senseless at his side hit with stone. Capt.
Slack produced the act and several priests
implored MIN not 10 read it for ii he did the
consequences would be terrible. The stone
throwing did not cease and Capt. Slack
after reading the riot act, pronounced the
words God save the Queen,''a stone smashed
tine skull of another policeman standing be-
side him. This unfortunate man died soon
after.
The police charged on the people with fixed
bayonets, and at the same time the cavalry
charged among the crowd and scene Of
frightful confusion followed. The charge
Of the cavalry down Short street was SO i'm
petuous that several horses and riders dashed
through the shop windows at the end Of the
street. The air was filled with stones and
bricks, and the frightened shop-keepers while
endeavoring to put up their shutters were
hurled to the ground and ridden over. Several
Hussars were endorsed by the crowd and
tram2led on by the horses of their comrades
coming up behind.
The several charges through the streets
lasted fully half an hour. A portion of crowd
fled, while others undismaycd faced the
charging horsemen and battered their helmets
with stones. The hussars used the fiat, side of
their swords freely, the point and edge being
strictly forbidden them. One hussar charging
around corner met with serious mishap,
his horse stumbled and fell and five or six
of his comrades who were following swiftly
behind fell over the PROSTATE horse and rider; ;
before the men could recover themselves
their horses had galloped up the street, and
the men had to defend themselves from the
mob until rescued. Owing to the exertions
of the priests, several whom received many
hard knocks, the people were finally induced
TO dispense. About 30 citizens were
seriously wounded.
The streets were finally cleared. President
of the Ballina, Mayo county, branch of the
land league was arrested here under the CO.
ercion act and taken to kilmainham Jail.
