TIMOTHY HARRINGTON AMONG
THE INJURED D-PROTESTS OF
IRISH PATRIOTS AGAINST THE
TREATMENT OF THE PEOpTE

diff on Tuesday, was brought tC
this city yesterday and placed IL
prison. Last night the Nationalist
learned that he would be taken to
Tipperary by the morning train
to day. Much to the surprise Of
the authorities, a large delegation
of prominent NatIonallsts boarded
the train when the officers appear
ed with OBrien. Among them
we're John MOrely, John Dillon,
I. NJ. Healey, and others. On the
arrival of the train at Tipperary
the Nationalists started for the
Court House in body.
They bad not gone far when they
stopped at a street corner and en-
tered into conversation. While
they were standing, in no way dis
turbing the peace, they were order.
ed by the police to move on. John
O'COnnor, member of Parliament
for South Tipperary, showed his
contempt for the police by calling
upon the crowd to give three cheers
for John Morley. The cheers were
given with hearty good will. The
police tbereupon charged upon the
group, and attempted to force it to
move forward. In the melee one
burly constable aimed a blow at
John Morley himself, but John
O'CoDnOr, who stood near, warded
1t off.
Early in the day it became known
that still another arrest had been
made. The victim this time was
Thomas j. Condor, member OF
Parliament for Tipperary East,
He was taken this morning at Linn
erick and also brought to Upper
ary.
When the hour for the sitting OF
the court arrived an immense
crowd had gathered before the
Court House, ready to rush in the
moment the doors were thrown
open. The authorities thereupOn
decided not to open the doors to
the general public, but to admit
only those who were immediately
interested in the trial. The crowd
did not take kindly to this treat
ment, but pressed forward. The
police stoutly resisted, charging
repeatedly upon the crowd and
using their clubs freely on whoever
happened to he in reach. Many
of their blows took effect, but the
crowd did not yield instantly. For
fully FIVE minutes there was a
stand mp fight between the throng
and the police. At last, however
the crowd was gradually forced
back.
During the conflict many persons
we're wounded by policemen's
bludgeons. A man had several
eeth Knocked out. Several men
were SO badly hurt as to require
surgical attendance. Among the
wounded were Timothy Harrlng'
ton, member of Parliament for
Dublin, and Mr.. Halifax. Both
received heavy blows on their
heads, which bled profusely. They
made their way into the cOnrt room
as soon as they could but by that
time their hair and coat collars
we're saturated with blood, and
they presented a pitIable spectacle
Their appearance in court created
a profound sensation, and lent
additional emphasis to the com
plant which MIR. William OBner
was making to the court of the
brutality OF the police.
/ At first Mr.. O'Brien had refused
to enter the court room unless thu
public could be freely admitted
+ He maintained this attitude TO
= some time, but at last decided tha

D peallug to the court. So he enter

ed the wanton clubbing of tn
crowd, of which he had just bee1
a witness. 1t was while he wa
speaking that the sensational er
trance of Messrs. Harrington AM
Halifax occurred.
Then Mr.. John Morely arose AM

great agitation, both 10 tones an
manner. He earnestly appealed t
the Court TO protect the popuIac
against the wanton use of the clu
by The police.
Meanwhile the Nationalist lead
