Disturbances broke out again in Belfast last Sunday evening, and
there was fierce fighting with rifles and revolvers. The fighting began with the throwing of bombs, by which thirty- eight persons, all Unionists, were wounded. Barricades were quickly thrown up in the streets of the riot zone. The troops had great difficulty in suppressing the fighting, as it ended in one street only to break out in another. • On Monday a proclamation was issued prohibiting the assembly of three or more persons- Sir James Craig informed the Ulster ParliaMent on the same day that it had been decided to remobilize the special constabulary. He stated that large quantities of arms and ammunition had been brought into Ireland by the -Sinn -Fein gunmen during the truce.
