DUBLIN STRIKE RIOTS.
PROCESSION DISPERSED.
FIERCE STREET EIGHT. ARREST OF THE LEADER. FIELD-MARSHAL'S SOX. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received March 15, 5.5 p.m.) London. March 14. A procession of the followers of Larkin, the Dublin strike-leader, armed with staves, and headed by Captain White, a son of the late field-marshal, marched through the streets of the Irish capital yesterday to demand from the Lord Mayor work for the unemployed. Captain White ordered the police to make way, and after a serious conflict the police dispersed the procession with their batons, injuring several men, three of whom had to be taken to hospital. Captain White, who was injured in the face, was arrested. He was released on bail later in the day. He was charged with assaulting an inspector, a sergeant, two constables, and a mail van driver. The inspector stated that he was struck on the back of the head with a blunt instrument while arresting White. Meanwhile the latter struck him with his blackthorn in the chest, and violently resisted arrest.
