THE IRISH SITUATION
REIGN OF LAW AND ORDER PROSECUTIONS ABANDONED SITTINGS OF BOUNDARY COMMISSION. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, November 9. (Received November 9, 11 p.m.) President Cosgrave announced in the Dail Earann that the Executive had decided to abandon all prosecutions of persons apprehended for alleged crimes during the state of rebellion between December, 1921, and May, 1923. He said that the Government believed that a reign of law and order, now happily restored, could best be served by the step now decided upon. The Dail has adjourned to enable members to participate in a miniature General Election, as 14 by-elections are pending. The Dublin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that the Free State Party approaches the contests with nervousness. It feels that the Republicans have gained strength in recent months. The events in the Dail, in the Free State Army, and in Britain have not strengthened President hands, and it would not be surprising if the Republicans make a strong show in the by-elections. The Boundary Commission met in London and adjourned, awaiting communication from the Free State and Ulster.
