The Whig's comment is excellent :-

" It is a pity Mr. Lloyd George does not recognize what he asked others to recognize twelve months ago. Ulster certainly does not want to be governed from Dublin, and, what is more, she won't be. Why are we asked to accept to-day what Mr. Lloyd George said would be unreasonable, unfair, outrageous a year ago ? The only thing of importance that happened in the interval was the murder of three hundred faithful servants of the Crown, who did not receive the support from the Cabinet to which they were entitled."

Meanwhile, there have been fresh riots of the usual character in Belfast. About fifteen people were killed and ninety wounded.
