Great excitement was caused hero last night. A man, -evidently a Gorman, who speaks very little English, got inside of tho constable's garden, picked up an adze, and oommenced battering at the house door, screaming out "Police! I want police I" The alarm was given and sevoral men rushed in and held him down. Dr MoLennan arrived and gagged him, but noi before lie had bitten himself severely on his hands, tougue and lips. After a desperate struggle, he was got into tho cell. Fortunately Mrs Eoohe and the children were at the concert, or surely they would have been injured, as ho would certainly have opened the door, The-man is a stranger whose name is unknown. Ho arrived here a fortnight ago and was working for Johnson Bros., briok. makers. He has evidently been treated for a lunatic before.
