SCENE AT MARTON.
TWO HUNDRED TO ONE. By Telegraph—Press Association. MARION, July 29. 2 There was a strong outburst of feeling in Marton on Saturday night, when a crowd, numbering about two hundred hooted Constable Fitzpatrick for his action in a recent licensing case at the Marton Court, and a great noise was kept u > 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 endeavoured to reason with the mob were hustled and quickly silenced. Constable Fitzpatrick was shouldered out of the way of several times, but did not get alarmed. Much credit is given the constable for his self-restraint and plucky bearing in what almost amounted to a riot.
