EIRE PROTESTS
OBSERVATIONS BY JUDGE AT RECENT TRIAL. COMMENT BY MR DE VALERA. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) LONDON, April 20. Mr E. de Valera, in the Dail, said the Government regarded Mr Justice Humphrey’s observations during the trials of Irishmen in London as most insulting and grossly partial. He said representations on the subject had been made to Britain. A cablegram from London on April 17 stated that Eire had protested to Britain in connection with the sentencing on April 3 of Gerald Francis Wharton, a participant in the Irish Republican Army terrorists plot, when Mr Justice Humphreys remarked: "Yon were a member of that gang which committed the murders of British officers un to 1922."
