§ Mr. LAWSONasked the Chief Secretary whether notices have been posted by the military in Kilmallock, County Cork, stating that any shop which does not stock English goods will be compulsorily closed down for seven days; and by what authority has this proclamation been made?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODNo such notices have been authorised by the military governor. The latter, however, has the necessary powers under martial law to do so, should he desire, and the necessity therefor arises.
