An intensive campaign of murder against the Irish Constabulary sinco Sunday lias already resulted in seventeen lieing killed, seventeen wounded, and at least seventy fired at. The outrages were spread over a wide area, and were of tlio most cold-blooded character. The victims included Constable Maxwell, who went into a publichoura with a friend. Four masked mon followed and shot tlio constable dead. Seven men were present, none of whom raised n hand to defend the constable. Constable McCarthy went for a cycle ride His body was found stuck into a drain, and' was stripped practically naked. Sergeant; Fulton wns killed in the streets of Ballymotc. lfn was surroundod by a' dozen mon, who iired a number of shots at short range, and who then escaped by mingling with the crowd in the street. It is believed in 6ome quarters that the Irish people sympathise with the murder campaign, which is so embittering the constabulary and soldiers and increasing reprisals. Though the murderers must bo known to scores of people, nono assist tlio pi lice to track the murderers or warn them of danger.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
