A RIOT AT MARTON.
Per Press Association. Marton, July 20. There was a strong outburst of feeling at Marton on Saturday night bo- ■ twuou 10 o'clock and midnight, when a crowd .numbering about two hundred hooted Constable Fitzpairick for his action in a recent licensing case at the Marton Court. A great noise was kept up and stones and eggs were thrown about. Several windows were broken at the police station, which was at the time occupied only by the constable's wife, who was naturally much alarmed. Two local residents who endeavored to reason with the mob were hustled and ipiickiy silenced. Constable Fitzpalrick was shouldered out of the way several times, but did not get alarmed. Much credit is given to the constable for his self-restraint and plucky bearing in what almost amounted to a riot.
