Ottawa, March "A sidelight on the condition of affairs in certain parts of Ireland is given in a, London despatch to the agency here of Reu- teT's despatch describing d scene in the Sligo court house.
 When eight young men charged with participation in an unlawful as- Sembly were required 10 remove their hats when arraigned,' the depatch says they began to smoke cigarettes Then they announced they would sing, whereupon they stood up on the seats and sang songs referring to the freedom of Ireland
 The magistrate left the bench and consulted the district inspector The singing was renewed when he re- turned and he threatened to commit them unless they apologized. One said they had no regard for any repre- sentative of the British constitution. The magistrate then sentenced them to seven days for contempt of court When they were about to be removed trey threw themselves on the floor and had to be removed by the police.
 The crowd filling the court as~ sumed a threatening attitude and a detachment of the military was sum- moncd. Eventually the defendants were carried to a Iorry and conveyed tc jail amid great excitement.''
