Dr Tanner,M.P.
Trensoo stilks naked and unashamed ■throughout Ireland at the present time. Dr Tn oner has already bud a lesson. He was blackguarding the Queeh and her soldiers a few evenings ago as Cros<haven, and made some offensive remarks regarding several men of the Royal Engineers who happened to be present. The soldiers bore the insulta for a time, but tbeir flushed cheeks might have told Tanner, M P., that their forbearance had j its limits. He. however, would not be warned, and at length one young fellow approached the speaker ana asked that his insults should cease. The reply was unsatisfactory, and the soldier thereupon requested Dr Tanner to "pufraup! 11 The " honourable member for Mid Cork • refused with a further insulting remark, and next moment was sprawling on the floor. The soldier invited him to get tip and have another dose, bat Tanner, whose nose was bleeding, and whose face was puffing up rapidly, declined, and his friends burned him away to a place of safety. The member for Mid Cork denies this .story, and states that a "cowardly soldier threw a large stone" at him, causing a black eye and injuring * the bones of the left side of bis face, but his version lacks confirmation.
