IRELAND.
/ THE LIMERICK MURDERS. NO MOTIVE KNOWN OF. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 9, 5.5 p.m. London, March 8. In the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Devlin, Sir Denis Henry said the motive for the abominable murders of Clancy and Callaghan (the Mayor and ex-Mayor of Limerick) was obscure. Both were moderate Sinn Feiners, whom the soldiers and the police regarded as largely responsible for the quietness of the district. There is no clue to the murderers, who were in civilian dress. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. FURTHER OUTRAGES. London, March 7. Dublin Castle reports that widow named Walpole was found shot dead in a field at Tralee. The Carnegie Library at Listowel has been burned down. A patrol surrounded a house at Homeinstown (Tipperary). The inmates fired and the patrol replied, killing Hogan, who was a battalion commander of the Republican army, and capturing an officer of the army and important papers. The Daily Herald states that the ca--dets whom General Crozier dismissed have been ordered to rejoin their units with a promise of full back pay.
