DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.

A disgraceful scone occurred at Waihi on Saturday night, when the police, who were arresting a drunken man, were assailed by a hooting, yelling mob, who raised the cry : M Australians to the rescue." The constables were stoned, and several windows were broken. Eventually the police were lushed and the prisoner was carried off by friends. Several prominent citizens attempted to paoify the crowd, but in vain. Sergeant Sheehan and the constables were bruised about their heads and bodies. Subsequently the man was re-arrested, and upon the President of the Miners' Union addressing the crowd they became quieter, but followed the police to the station hooting.
