the Dublin police have been restored to their
places and the seventeen are rejected only be-
cause OF previous bad character. This brings
this latest disturbance to an end. but does not
efYace the impression made by the arbitrary
and violent rulc that tho city had to undergo
while the suspension Of the police lasted.

we're patroed by squads of infantry and cav.
airy. There were crowds at every point and in
tho principal thoroughfares there were success

emcability and uninterrupted frequency. The
sidewalks and the middle OF the streets were
devoted to this occupation until dawn. There
was no interference Of any kind and there was

no pistols and no knives. and no better EVIL

although the city was absolutely without police
protection the only burglaries committed were
the theft OF box of cigars and OF q few pairs OF
shoes. Tho Lord Lieutenant is loudly praised
by the English press for his firm stand. but the
truth is that the good temper OF the Dublin
people saved the Government from disaster.
