DUBLIN, Jan. 7.—The appeal of Wilfred Blunt has gone against him. He was convicted and sentenced to two months' imprisonment for violation of the crimes act in addressing a proclaimed meeting at Woodford. The Justice who heard the appeal declared that though Mr. Blunt had not acted wisely, he had shown no cowardice.
Immediately after the decision in Mr. Blunt's case he was conveyed to jail. He was followed by a large crowd, whom the police attempted to avoid by a ruse. This proved futile and a conflict occurred between the crowd and police, during which swords and batons were used. Several persons were injured.
