people and reached the scene of the
proposed meeting (Achonry) at about
3 o'clock. District Inspector O'Brien
meanwhile had body Of police drawn
up at the barracks. On arriving in
town the Mullinabreena contingent
found gathering of about 300 people
drawn up awaiting them in front of
the platform, which had been erected
at the back of the Achonry chapel.
The police, before the meeting could be
organized, charged the assemblage,
with drawn batons, and scene of in.
describable confusion ensured. AS
soon as any number of the people ap-
peared to gather together, the police
would charge on them and dispense
them. A number of the bandsmen
took refuge in the house of Thomas
Hunt, around which several minor ell
gagements took place, until half an
hour later the band marched down the
read in the direction of shop belong
ing to Miss Hunt. The police followed

instruments were smashed to pieces.

great number of people were injured.
