IRELAND.

ARCHBISHOP PATRIOT. MORE EXAMPLES OF TERRORISM. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 24, 5.5 p.m. London, Sept. 23. Archbishop Spence, of Adelaide, had a remarkable welcome at the Newry railway platform, which was decorated with Sinn Fein flags. When an address of welcome was presented the Archbishop asked permission to salute Ireland's flag. The saluting of the flag was greeted with great cheering. Archbishop Spence said that, unlike Archbishop Mannix, he had not been prevented from coming to Ireland, but he did not know where he might be to-morrow, and did not care. Soldiers of the British Government were committing atrocities in Ireland as great as, and greater than, the American atrocities. Following on the shooting of four constables at Rineen. a party of uniformed men ut night set fire to eighteen houses at Ennistynon. Three civilians were shot dead. The republican police tried a travelling tinker on v a charge of stabbing his wife, and ordered nine lashes of the cat-of-nine-tails to be administered.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

Notices have been officially posted at the Dublin cattle market warning all persons giving or accepting cheques on Ulster banks, or their notes or otherwise, that the Dublin Corporation will take action against offenders.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
