MR. DE VALERA UNPOPULAR SEQUEL TO COURT SENTENCE LONDON. Dec. 19 The Dublin correspondent of the Evening News says that the Republican Army is violently attacking Mr. de Valera owing to his refusal to intervene in the sentence passed on two members of the Army for attempting to damage premises during the enforcement of the anti-British beer boycott. The accused refused to recognise the Court, whereupon Mr. Justice Davitt, a son of the famous Michael Davitt, invoked the Cosgravc "Coercion Act" and ordered one month's imprisonment for contempt. The Republican Army organised a protest meeting, and the speakers declared that they had 110 further use for Mr. de Valera, and urged the usa of force to establish':a Republic. Mr. Justice Davitt is heavily guarded.
