"NEW COUNTER-OUTRAGES;"
(Received March 22, 2-30 p.m.)
LONDON, 20th March,
The body of Mr. Mac Curtain (Sinn Fein Lord Mayor of Cork, whose murder is reported to-day) is lying in state, in a Sinn Fein uniform, .with a guard of volunteers, till Monday, when there will be a -public funeral.
The Chairman of the Tipperary Board of Guardians said the shooting of the Lord Mayor was an appalling ©vent, which had cast a gloom over, the country. The military searched the house after the murder. The 'Weekly Despatch describes the murder as an example of the new counter-outrage, and points out that it is hardly possible to attribute the crime to Sinn Feiners. .
