At a large meeting of Irish Liberal Nonconformists in the Memorial Hall in favor of Home Rule, Canon Liley, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Mr. Bernard Shaw spoke. A crowd of Liberals, attired in helmets and carrying dummy rifles, howled down Sir E. Carson, who was speaking from the balcony of the Conservative Club at Torquay. During a Home Rule demonstration at Dalston Theatre, Mr. Redmond, who was constantly interrupted by suffragettes and male sympathisers, did not complete twenty sentences in ,threequarters, of an hour. Women were eject-, ed every minute, and free fights constantly occurred. A clergyman was thrown out for protesting against the manner in which the stewards treated the women.
