DISTURBANCES IN BOMBAY,
'SHIAH AND BUNNI FIGHT.
The Moburrum Festival on Thursday (Fob 13) terminated in a disturbance of a very serious nature. A foolish resolution on the part of the Sunni Mahomedans to decline to obey the police ordars, and refuse to listen to their pursuasion and good counsel, resulted in four deaths and bodily injury to over a hun. dred persons.

The news of their arrest acted as a red rag to a bull to the "Toliwallahs" in the various Mahomedan streets. They reasived to get these men re leased by any means, and they promptly took up as aggressive attitude and refused to remove their taboots.

A most undesirable thing was now noticed: The mob had become very rowdy. They com menced to attack the Borahs and plunder their shops. This was" checked by the police and the toliwallaba in front of the Pydowni Polico station raided a Borah shop and freely attacked the Shiahs. The shops of all the Boris in the Mahomedea locality were sooo closed and the Borahs all fled to their houses.
The row commenced at the J. J. Hospital. Inspector Dickson, in accordance with the orders given him by, the Commissioner, told. the Tankbander tabootwallas to move the taboot. This'they refused to do and most 'im- pudently demanded the release" of the men who were arrested by the police, and declined La move the 'taboot until their demand was granted. The other taboots which were brought. near the Hospital as originally arranged to be, taken to Carnac Bunder for immersion," also, were not moved, the parties in charge of the tabouts making the same demand. They then -- returned their taboots to their respeitiva booths and those which wera not removed at all were kept in the booths, Thamobthen rushed towards Bhendi Bakar and thefirst act of violence noticed was the attack on the Borah shopkeepers near the successfully and coming to the rescue of Pydowai Police Station.
