The House of Commons, when the news of Sir Henry's
.assassination had been received, adjourned as a mark of respect. The staff of the I.R.A., from its headquarters at Beggar's Bush, Dublin, issued a statement on Friday, June 23rd, to the effect that the murderers were not members of the I.R.A. Probably they were not, as they had been for some time in London. Sulli- van, like Dunn, had fought in the British Army during the War, and since the War he had been employed as a doorkeeper at the Ministry of Labour. We imagine that he would not haze received this position if his record had not been overtly good. But these facts do not make it the less obvious that the assassins were agents of one of the Irish factions. Mr. Griffith announced correctly, but without very much emphasis, that -murder was fundamentally wrong. •
