Carlow
Sentential, October 1920.
Threatening
Notices.
In envelopes
bearing the Cork postmark some public men in County Wexford have
received the following communication:
“In some
districts loyalists and members of His Majesty's Forces received notices
threatening the destruction of their houses in certain eventualities.
Under these circumstances it has been decided that for every loyalist's
house so destroyed the house of a Republican leader will be similarly
dealt with. It is naturally to be hoped that the necessity for such
reprisals will not arise, and therefore this warning of the punishment
which will follow any destruction of loyalists' houses is being widely
circulated."
The notice was typed on a single sheet without bearing
anything to indicate the source from which it was written.*
