WAR ON POLICE.

ANOTHER BARRACKS RAID. A LIVELY ATTACK. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrlg'at. Received Jan. 27, 1.55 p.m. London, Jan. 26. A party attacked the police barracks at Murree, near Limerick, in which there were eight constables. The firing lasted two hours. The attackers fronting the barracks were concealed by a wall, and they maintained a steady fire, while another party on the side of the barracks crept up and exploded a bomb. No damage was done, and there were no casualties amongst the constables, who wore protecting plates. The attackers retired before police and military reinforcements arrived. Their progress was delayed by felled trees.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. THE MURDER OF POLICEMEN. Received Jan. 26, 12.40 p.m. London, Jan. 22.
