Later, detectives found paraffin-soaked cotton-wool in the timber yard also a number of revolvers and oilcans alleged to have been dropped be the fugitives. The man arrested in connection with the attempted arson in a London timber yard was brought up at the Police Court. He is a student aged twenty, named Robinson. A police inspector gave evidence that documents relating to the Irish Self- Determination League and the Gaelic League were found in prisoner's rooms. No other evidence was offered and accused was remanded for a week without bail.
