IN IRELAND
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) CONSTABLE SHOT. LONDON, Jan. 5. Constable Clarke, while walking in a street-at Ballylongford, was shot from a wall, 150 pellets lodging in his neck and shoulders. His condition is critical.
A number of men waylaid a police patrol, who were protecting a loyal farmer in North Clare. A brisk exchange of shots followed, one constable being wounded. His comrades using grenades, routed the assailants. This is the first time grenades have been used. Military aeroplanes are patrolling throughout Ireland, particularly in the neighbourhood of Carrigtohill, to prevent further assemblies that might lead to a recurrence of the outrages. The police in Cork visited prominent Sinn Feiners .and interrogated them legarding their movements on Saturday. Sinn Feiners are contesting all of the eighty seats in the Dublin Corporation elections.
