NO ATTEMPT TO STOP MURDERS,
(BKITBD PMM ASSOCIATION.—C«P*MBHT.)
(AUSTRALIA!) - NZW ZEALAND CABLR ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 18th January.
General Strickland, in a letter to the Deputy-Mayor of Cork, says:—"ln accordance with the urgent wish of the people of dork I used my influence to secure -the reprieve of Joseph Murphy. Now I am told that martial law is bringing discomfort to the general population. Nevertheless, in the last fortnight there have been dastardly attempts to murder Irish Constabulary in Cork city. It is inconceivable that the majority of the inhabitants do not view the murders with disgust, but I see.no traces of steps to purge the city of assassins. I am ready to let martial law rest as lightly as possible upon the law-abiding.people if I see signs that they are assisting me, but I can do nothing if the passive attitude continues."
