Removal To

Ireland

THE HOME OFFICE HAS REFUSED PERMISSION FOR THE REMOVAL TO IRELAND OF THE BODIES OF PETER BARNES AND JAMES RICHARDS, THE TWO 1.R.A. TERRORISTS WHO WERE HANGED FOR THE COVENTRY MURDER EXPLOSION.

They were executed side by side on the scaffold of Winson Green Prison, Birmingham, and are buried in the gaol cemetery. The Home Office decision was taken on the advice of Special Branch officers.

It was, thought that transfer of the bodies to Ireland might fead to their being used as "martyrs," and to stir up feeling against Britain.

LORD MAYOR WHO STARVED TO DEATH Scotland. Yard has warned police forces in Britain to re- double their precautions against further bombing outrages.

The applications for the transfer of the bodies to Ireland were made on behalf of the hanged men's relatives.

The authorities acted on precedents established during the last war. Sir Roger Casement, who treated with the Germans and was hanged in Pentonville Gaol, still lies there in the murderers' cemetery.

Alderman Terence McSwiney, an M.P. and Lord Mayor of Cork, died after a hunger-strike in Brixton Prison.

His body was taken back to Ireland after the formalities in connection with a coroner's inquest were completed be- cause he was not a convicted man.

WARNING READ

McSwiney was warned about the possible consequences of his hunger-strike. Just before his death a statement from the Home Secretary was read to him:

"Terence McSwiney, I am directed by the Secretary of State solemnly to warn you that you will not be released, and The Ordinary General Meeting

that you alone will be responsible for any conquences that may 5 p.tn., Registered and Parcel mails of Shareholders in the above Com pany will be held in the Company's Offices, P. & O. Building. 5th
