In opening Tyrone Assizes on We'd
! nesday the Lord Chief Baron told the
! grand jury that he had never been
/ in a county of the same extent in
| which the calendar was so small. 1T
| contains only six cases, of which three
are remanetsi and all are of ordinary
| character. In opening Armagh AS
sizes yesterday, Mr. Justice Wright
was able to congratulate the grand
jury on the state of the county. The
calendar presented only six ordinary
cases, and the official reports sheweia
that there was no organized crime, ne
boycotting, and no intimidation in the
county. His lordship had, however, to
express regret that cases of intoxica-
tion had increased within the year
from 500 to 9OS.
On Wednesday evening, last week,
between 8 and 10 o'clock, an assault
of rather serious nature was COM
mitted on laborer named James Cal
laghan, from the neighborhood of Cas-
tlebar, by a member of the Royal
Irish ConstabuIary. Two constables
from Ballina were on their way home
after escorting a patient to the asy-
lum here, and one of them, apparent
ly under the influence of drink, got
into some argument with country
man who was proceeding home from
the fair, when Callaghan, who liYeN on
the roadside hearing loud voices, went
out to ascertain the cause. The car
driver asked Callaghan to hold his |
horse, whilst himself and the other po-
ltceman tried to induce the boisterous |
constable to get on the car. When |
they got him to the car he, without |
the slightest proyocation, began to un-
mercifully beat poor Callaghan, who |
but for the timely Intervention of some
neighbors would without doubt, have
Jared badly. Shortly after the occur
renee half a dozen of the police from
this station went to the scene of the |
occurrence and took Callaghans state
ment.
At IL on Friday night three young
men We're passing the Catholic cathe-
dral, Sligo, when they heard some
noise in the yard. Shortly afterwards, |
On listening. they heard the sound of
breaking glass. On raising the alarm
.hree men ran from the yard and dis
appeared. The police were at once told
II the affair, and on inspection found
ne cathedral safe in the yard, and the
acr1sty window, through which it had
apparently been removed, broken. The
afe was intact, but a contribution
'ox in the sacred edifice had been bro
zen and rifled. 1t is surmised that the
perpetrators of the outrage secreted ,
themselves in the cathedral when the
emains of the late Alderman Higgins
we're being removed thence in the
vening. A man named Lotus has !
cen arrested on suspicion. Ec
