Constable Clarke, while walking in the street at Ballylongford, was shot from behind a wall, 150 pellets lodging in bis neck and shoulders. His condition is critical.
A number of men waylaid a police patrol who were protecting a loyal farmer in North Clare. A brisk exchange of shots followed, one co-rr-stable being wounded. His comrades, using grenades, routed the assailants. This is the first time grenades have been used. Military aeroplanes are' patrolling throughout Ireland, particularly in the neighbourhood of Carrigtohill, to prevent further assemblies that might lead to a recurrence of outrages. The police in Cork visited prominent Sinn Peiners, and interrogated them regarding their movements on Saturday.
