HABEAS,CORPUS' ACTION.

HOME SECRETARY'S POSITION.

LONDON, May 17.

In the House of Commons, the indemnity bill to meet the situation arising out of the O'Brien case was read a first time. It merely prohibits the in- stitution of civil or criminal legal proceedings against the Home Secretary and others concerned in the Irish deportations.

The House of Lords decided that it could not interfere with the Appeal Court's decision granting the writ of HabeasCorpus applied for by Art O'Brien, leader of the Irish Self-Determination League, who was arrested in the big March round-up and deported. The Court based its decision on the ground that the Home Secretary was not empowered to order the internment of a person in the Irish Free State. The indemnity bill the Government is introducing is de signed to protect the Home Secretary who would otherwise be liable to severe penalties.]

WELCOMED AT EUSTON

LONDON, May 17. The Irish deportees were welcomed by friends on arrival at Euston where they dispersed to their homes.

Six London and four Liverpool deportees are still detained or have been rearrested.
