THE IRISH REVOLT.
THE SKEFFINGTON ENQUIRY. CONDEMNATORY REPORT. (By Cable.—Pfeea Association.—-Copyright.) (Reuter's Telegrams.) LONDON, October 16. The report of the Committee of Enquiry into the shooting of Sheehy-Skef-fington says that apart from insanity there was no excuse for the conduct of Captain Coltliulst.
