MINERS CAUSE TROUBLE.
THREAT TO READ RIOT ACT. (BY CABLE—rRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT,) (.AUSTKALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) MELBOURNE, January 14. Serious trouble at .the Marranboy tintields, in the Northern Territory, is reported. It is believed that the cause of tho trouble was the closing down of a battery at Marranboy, where miners allege the police are engaged in espionage. A meeting of miners demanded the withdrawal of a constable from the field, and passed a number of other resolutions which tho authorities regard as of so serious a nature that special constables have been sworn in. Messages received in Melbourne state that the warden told representatives at a citizens' meeting that the Riot Act would be read unless resolutions passed at the meeting were withdrawn. All work in the field is suspended.
