"DEVASTATING CIVIL WAR AVERTED."

STERN IMPARTIALITY.

LONDON, July 26.

In the House of Commons, in reply to a motion moved by Mr. Devlin for an adjournment of the House in order to call attention to the events in Belfast and the failure of the Government to protect the Catholics, Sir Hamar Greenwood said that the soldiers and police would deal with mobs whether they were Protestant or Catholic exactly alike: There were five battalions of infantry in Belfast and three others were available if required. Warships were nearby and there were 1,156 police. The Government had dose everything possible and had prevented one

of the greatest catastrophes that could have befalien Ireland in the shape of a massacre of thousands and a devastating civil war. He emphatically refuted the suggestion that reprisals were any part of the Government's policy. The police and military had shown the sternest impartiality.

A FUTURE THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLY 'SAD... Sir Hamar Greenwood referred to a committee of all creeds and parties which was established at Derry after the disturbances. He said that it had been sucressful and all municipalities had been asked to establish similar committees. Nearly all had refused to consider the question. He gladly noted that in the recent riots at Belfast and Derry Orangemen and Nation alists had assisted the Police and military in keeping the mobs apart. He wished men of all creeds in all parts of Ireland would assist in puting down crime.

L " ་

Replying to the interjection "Withdraw the army," he said that in such an event the future of Ireland would be incredibly sad. He was sure that as soon as Irishmen united in trying to govern the country the House and Great Britain would be only too willing to meet their views.

HAT SNATCHER.

CATCHES A TARCAR.

THE CHINA MAIL.

When a Chinese youth was this morning charged before Mfr. R. O. Hutchison with snatching a Panama hat from a Chinese gentleman in Des Voeur Road, West yesterday afternoon, he said that he was ar rested by mistake as another youth had stolen the hat and run away. The fact that he did not have the| hat in his possession when he was arrested, he said, proved his immoc

ence.

The complainant said that he was proceeding in a rlesha along Des Voeux Road West yesterday towards Shektongchui, when the defendant came from under the verandah, and ran behind his vehicle for a few paces. Defendant suddenly snatched his hat and bolted down a side street. Witness jumped out of the ricsha and gave chase. A Euro- pean Police Sergeant joined him and the defendant was caught in Connaught Road but without the hat in his possession. Witness could not say if the defendant dropped it during the chase, or passed it to a con- federate. He was too occupied keep ing the defendant in sight to notice, the hat. He was sure the defendant was the man.".
