the surprise of the authorities a large del

Charged BY the Police.
On the arrival u the train at Tipperary
the Nationalist started for the court house
In body. At street corner they entered
into conyersatisa. While they were
standing, in no why disturbing the peace
there, they were ordered by the police to
move on. John OsConnor, member Of par

showed his contempt for the police by call

John Morley. The cheers were given with
hearty good will, much 70 the exasperatidn
of the police, who thereupon charged upon
the group and attempted TO force 1t to
move forward. In che melee that followed
the policemen did not hesitate to use their
batons. One burly constable aimed blow
at John Morley himself, but John 0'Con-

For fully five minutes there was stand
up fight between the now excited throng
and the police. Az last, however, the crowd
was gradually forced back and the police
succeeded in maintaining a clear space in
front Of the coufx house. The leaders OF
the crowd continued to make vigorous pro-
tests against being excluded from the
court house, and the police were subjected

wounded yictims Of their recent onslaught
During the conaict many persons were
wounded with sews from the policemen's
bludgeons One Of the most serious cases
was that Of a man, some Of whose teeth
were knocked out and forced into his
throat Several men were so badly hurt as

Among the wounded were Timothy Har

Then John Morley arose and addressed |
she court manifeating great agitation He !
earnestly appealed to the court to protect
khe populace against the wanton use Of the
club by the police. Meanwhile the Ma
tionalist leaders continued TO appeal to
Col. Caddell, the presiding magistrate, TO
reverse his decision to keep the doors shut
against the public, and at last he ordered
4he doors thrown open. The room was at
once packed.
A Pretty How-de-do-
At the outset Mr. Dillon objected to be-
ing tried before Resident Magistrate Shan
mon He had had personal encounter
with Shannon nj Cashel shannon had
grossly insuited him. He urged, therefore,
that there would DO manifest improperly
an Shannon's sitting at tie present trial.
Mr.. Shannon refused to admit the valid
atty Of Mr.. Dillons objections. He de-
clared that he would perform his duty
without bias. William O'Brien also OBJ
1ected to Shannon. Shannon had already
8ried him threa times on similar charges.
His sitting In the present case, O'Brien
said, was an fmdeeency and an insult. The
magistrate answered O'Brien's objections
IN the same way that he had disposed OF

Then, despite the protests Of the prison
ers, the crowns attorney was permitted to
snake alterations in the charges against
Dillon and O'Brien.
The amending Of the warrants will enable
the government TO include nee charges in
the complaints. This unexpected action,
permitted by the magistrates at the opening
of the court and without notice having been
given 70 the defendants, is regarded as an
evidence that the government proposes TO
conduct the case In an arbitrary and high
handed manner and that the court is ready
30 lend its aid in that direction The pro
cedure Of the defense shows a determine
4ion to keep the case before the country as
hong as possible, with a view to making
capital for the Nationalist cause.
Mr.. Morlev's Appeal Had Weight.
