Irish nationalist demonstrations in both England and Ireland march in honor of the "Manchester Martyrs."

A large Irish nationalist demonstration took place in the northern English industrial city of Manchester in honor of the three Fenians executed two days before for the September 1867 murder of a local policeman.  Police estimated several thousand marchers in the street.  Meanwhile, in Ireland on the same day, at Cork, a similar large parade took place mourning the three men.  The funeral of the men, dubbed the "Manchester Martyrs," took place in Dublin a week later with the largest crowds of all.  (By John Osborne)
