Riots in Belfast.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) LONDON, Yesterday.
Two hours desperate fighting in Belfast, between a howling crowd and a strong force of police, cavalry, and infantry, a child was killed and 20 policemen seriously injured. The arrest of three of the hooligans led to a renewal of the mobs fury.! Stones and broken bottles were • thrown in Grosvenor road, and a pandemonium was reigning. Reinforcements were summoned when detachments of the Cameron highlanders, Sussex and Essex regiments marched to the scenes. The cavalry dashed from one end to the other of the area of disturbance while the, 1 crowds were sullenly still throwing missiles. The rioters were forced into side streets towards strong military posts. Pouring rain commenced to fall when the crowds disappeared.
