SERIOUS ARMISTICE DAY RIOTS IN DUBLIN Many Injured in Irish Republican Army Clashes with Police

PLAYING WITH FIRE

GIRL'S BEHAVIOUR IN URMI CASE

FINE IMPOSED

Mr. Schofield, at the Central Polled ourt this morning, found indecent that the charge of assault on Chung Wan, a 20-year- old girl was proved against Henry Urmi, Swiss motor mechanic, and! propr'ulor of Henry's Motor Sor- v'en Garages, at Lockhart Round, Wanchai. Accused was ordered to pay the girl $50 amends and was fined $200.

1a Worship found that ex- tenuating circumstances were pre- sented by the liehaviour of the girl, who, le considered, had played with fire for her own amusement and had got burnt in the process.

Mr. W. A. Mackinlay was for the accused.

All available members of the police force were call- ed out to cope with the disturbances, which developed from a parade through the streets of Dublin of thousands of members of the Irish Republican Army. They march- ed in military procession and were eventually hold up by a cordon of police. The Republicans attempted to force the cordon and a bitter fracas was soon in progress, the police dispersing the demonstrators with baton charges.
