ART 0'BRIEN
is Freed BY
LONDON COURT

LONDON, May 16.-By The As
ISOLATED Press.eThe court of np-
peals today ordered tho release OF
Art o'Brien. who was deported to
Ireland after being arrested in aha
March roundup of republican sym
pathizers. O'Brien was brought be-
corpus.
Upon his discharge by the court
OfBrien was Immediately taken
into custody by officers from Scot
land Yard and was removed to Bow
street.
In the Bow street police court
where o'Br1en was charged with Sc
ditious conspiracy the case was ad
journed for a week. The court re
fused to iiberate oBrien under bail.
He was charged specifically with
conspiring with others who are mem.
bers of the Self Determination League
to disturb the peace in both England
and Ireand and to overthrow the
government of the Irish Free State.
The case of Art O'Brien. involv-
ing the status OF the hundred or
more Irish ~agitators deported to
ireland after the March roundup in
England and Scotland has attracted
wide attention in Great Britain.
The situation is OF intereat TO the
government because of tho fact
hat the hnbeas corpus act of 1870
under which Art O'Brien was re-
leased, provides that no resident OF
England may be deported a a
prisoner and declares that persons
responsible for violation of the
terms OF the act may be heavily
penalized. The March de%portations
were by order of Home Secretary
Bridgeman. and the government
now finds itself faced with the
necessity of passing an indemnity
act to protect the secretary and
other officials who acted under him.
