NOLLE PROSEQUI ENTERED.

[press association.]

LONDON, Nov. 3. The Crown entered a nolle prosequi against the men arrested for the July disturbances in Belfast, but they were re-arrested on the magistrate's warrant.

The Crown Solicitor demanded that the case should be heard by the magistrate instead of by eight justices, declaring that the bench was packed. The police, acting on the Crown's instruction, refused to produce the prisoners, and the hearing was adjourned.
