On Wednesday a Proclamation was issued in Ireland to the

effect that the Sinn Fein organization, the Sinn Fein clubs, the Irish Volunteers, the Cumann-na-Bhan, and the Gaelic League would henceforth be regarded as dangerous." The Proclamation was issued by virtue of Section VI. of the Crimes Act of 1887. According to this Act, when any association has been proclaimed as " dangerous," the Lord-Lieutenant may suppress it. Every assembly of the members of such association will be unlawful.
