THE THAMES VOLUNTEERS INDIGNANT.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION TSMflBiH.] THAMES, September 16. The feeling of indignation against the action and insult of Mr Bryce re the Thames Volunteers contingent at Parihaka found vent last night in burning Mr Bryce's effigy. Some hundred men belonging to the late contingent followed a oapital figure of Mr Bryce set on a white horse, and were aooompanied by fully 2000 people, who marched through the principal streets of the borough, headed by an impromptu band composed of small boys equipped with tin cans and whistles playing the "Dead March in Saul " during the progress of the procession. The effigy was greeted at every street corner with shouting and catcalls, and eventually carried up one of the creeks outside the borough boundaries and oommitted to the dimes, and its dust kioked in all directions. During the whole time of the prooession the polioe were in constant attendance, but nothing occurred calling for their interference, as the men oomposing the procession preserved complete silenoe. Very general and intense disgust is felt here at the language used by Mr Bryce.
