VIM O'Brien visited the battle field
in Tipperary Dec 81. for the first time
since his release from his latest incar-s
ceration in Galway Jail. AT ten O'Clock.
he started from Thurles, where he had
been the guest of Archbishop Cruke5
since Christmas Eve. A policeman tra-
yelled in the same train which brought
him to the Limerick junction. where
the duty OF ''shadoWlng" was taken up
by three local policemen, who, however: ]:
found themselves very considerably at.
fault, as they found it quite lmpossiblei
to procure car for the purpose of pur-Ss
suing Mr.. O'Brlen further. The hon.
gentleman was met by the Very Rev.
Canon Cahill, T. F., V. G., Tipperary.
and Alderman Condor, NJ p, Mayor Of:
Clonmel. They drove on Immediately
to TipperarY, to the residence Of Canon
Cahill. In the meantime the police at
Limerick Junction had set the telegraph.
wires in motion, and at Tipperary Col.
Caddell, r. NJ, issued proclamation,
copies of which, partly printed and
partly written, were posted throughout
the town. A large force Of police was
turned in.o the streets. One posse,
under District Inspector Wynne, took
up position in St:AlMlchael street, and
subsequently moYed into the Main.
street. District Inspector Gamble had
charge Of another body at the corner Of
st. Michael street, while a third, armed
with rifles, was conducted by Colonel
Caddell.
THE POLICE ALARMED.
F. Shortly after twelve o'clock, Mr..
O'Brlen left the Presbytery,, accom-
panied by Canon Cahill. Mr.. Condon,
M p, Mr.. OBrien Dalton, Rev. M.
POWER, G. c., DR.. John Organ, Mr.. r.
Roman, Chairman of the rown Com
missioners, MIR. Michael O'Dwyer, I. c.,
secretary of the National League, and
others for the purpose Of discharging
.he mission on which he had come--of
walking through the old ruined town
and visiting the scene where the new
town is rising as rapidly as cunning
brains and trained hands anu warm
hearts can make it. AS the party was
proceeding down St. Michael street,
which leads from the Presbytery to the
Main street, Col. Caddell, at the head
Of a force Of thirty armed policemen,
suddenly emerged from one Of the side
streets and despatched District Inspec-
tor Gamble to serve MIR. O'Brien with a
copy OF the proclamation. The poet
speaks of "Bated breath and whisper
ing humbleness," but the words are
quite inadequate to convey an idea Of
the ment i and ph, sical collapse Of the
gallant officer when he reached Mr..
O'Brien.
'sThis is the proclamation, Mr.,
O'Brien," said he, with a shiver in every
word.
.'Oh! have heard of it. replied Mr.
O'Brien.
''May serve you with copy Of it?''
said District Inspector Gamble.
You may if you like" said Mr..
O'Brien, ''it is matter Of no conse-
quence to me.'
The policeman then handed the docui-
ment tc Mr.. O'Brien and then turned
away, but hearing rustling behind
him he immediately looked back, and
saw, with horror in his eyes, the pro-
clamation dying up the street before
5he wind till captured by someone with
8 penchant for collecting curiosities of
the kind.
