(Capt. John Wilson) —The following reached us by wire just as we were going, to press last week - '"Opened fire on Paisley yesterday morning Open-air rough. Could not get people in Hall. Afternoon awrul. Got stabbed with a penknife. My wife was roughly handled. I am bruised all over. Hooting and disturbance dreadful. Police guarded us home to Mr. Robinson's, nearly three miles. Stones flying, but victory through the Blood. At night Hall full. No open-air meeting. Thousands outside. Six souls.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
