the headquarters of the Free State
troops describing the capture of
the greater part of the Four
Courts, says that In the desire to
save the lives of those In the
building, special precautions were
taken and that the casualties to
the irregulars were not heavy was
due to the skill with which the
attacking party conducted the
operations.

pled, 33 Irregulars were made
prisoners. The Free Slate torces
occupied the greater part of the
building, including the central
hall and liberty, and the irregulars
