The other event we have to record in special detail

is the shooting of three of the seven leaders of the insurrection, the men who signed the proclamation of the co-called republic. The men in question, Clarke, Pearse, and MacDonagh, were tried by Court- Martial on Tuesday and shot early on Wednesday. Three other men tied with them received sentences of three years' penal servitude. Connolly, who was the " General " in Dublin, has not yet been tried, presumably because of his wounds. Sir Roger Casement, it was announced by Mr. Asquith in the House of Commons on Wednesday, will be tried " with the utmost expedition."
