Members of this brotherhood had in certain cases been active forces in the Irish National Association, which was used as a cloak, without the knowledge of the bulk of the members of that association. The Government had determined to take decisive measures, and had arrested seven of the ringleaders, who were now interned.’ A public enquiry would be held.
