    3. 12-8-1892 From the Times. At Tipperary Petty Sessions today, before Colonel Tynte. R.M. the Rev. David Humphreys, C.C. and 33 others were charged by Police-Inspector Yates, with others unknown, "While armed with sticks, stones, and other offensive weapons, tumultuously assembled and did make a riot by yelling, shouting, and striking, throwing stones, and otherwise assaulting various persons and houses to the terror of her Majesty's Subjects". When the case was called it was found that 19 of the defendants, including the Rev. Father had disregarded the summons of the court. Bench warrants were issued for their arrest, and the hearing of the cases were adjourned until Monday. ------------------------------------- The work of demolishing the now famous William O'Brien Arcade in New Tipperary, was begun today. Eight or nine men belonging, it is stated to the Property Defence Association, started the work of demolition this morning at 4 O'Clock, and by the afternoon the greater number of the 26 shops within the building had been levelled to the ground. A few weeks since the application was made in the Dublin Courts to compel Mr. William Hurley, on whose property the mart was erected, to take it down, and on that application an order was made directing that this should be done; but in the event of Mr. Hurley's refusal power was reserved to the Landlord, Mr. Smith-Barry. M.P. to get it removed at Mr. Hurley's expense. The latter having shown no inclination to obey this order, the Landlord proceeded to exercise the power vested in him, and the result was that the first practical steps were taken today to take down what was one of the most prominent landmarks of New Tipperary. During the day a force of Police were engaged in protecting the Landlord's men. Mary
