AT MOUNTMELLICK, IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND, A RIOT BROKE OUT WHEN TEN MEN APPEARED IN COURT ON CHARGES CONNECTED WITH THE THROWING OF A PETROL BOMB NEAR A PRIVATE RESIDENCE WHERE PRINCESS MARGARET OF BRITAIN AND HER HUSBAND, LORD SNOWDON, WERE STAYING.
THE TEN MEN ON TRIAL WERE CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY AND CAUSING MALICIOUS DAMAGE TO TREES NEAR ABBEYLEIX, WHERE THE PRINCESS AND HER HUSBAND WERE STAYING. THE FIGHTING ERUPTED IN THE COURTHOUSE ITSELF, WHERE ONE MAN WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AND RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES.
THE VIOLENCE SPREAD TO SEVERAL HUNDRED IRISH NATIONALIST DEMONSTRATORS WHO HAD GATHERED OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE WITH BANNERS AND PLACARDS CRITICISING THE REPUBLIC'S PRIME MINISTER, MR. SEAN LEMASS, THE GOVERNMENT, AND THE POLICE. WHEN THE DEMONSTRATORS BEGAN TO RIOT, UNINFORMED AND PLAIN-CLOTHES POLICE DREW TRUNCHEONS AND CHARGED THEM.
SEVERAL DEMONSTRATORS RECEIVED BLOWS FROM THE POLICE TRUNCHEONS AND LEFT THE "BATTLEFIELD" WITH MINOR INJURIES. THE DEMONSTRATORS, FOR THEIR PART, OVERTURNED AND DAMAGED A POLICE CAR.
