By the ruling some which was subscribed to the Irish | Republican cause in this country jwill go back to the subscribers after being tied up in litigation since 1922. | At that time an injunction was ob- tained, restralning banks which held the money from releasing it to de Valera or any of his agents. The injunction was granted to attorneys representing Michael Collins and other officers of the Irish Free State | P forces. The suit finally began in March of this year with de Valera as one of the principal witnesses. The trial énded on April 25 and Justice Peters reserved decision until to- day. Justice Peters, in his decision, re- fused to allow the claim of the Free State that it was a successor to the self-styled Irish Republic on the ground that, as a de factor govern- ment, the Republic had never exist- ed and therefore could have no suc- cessor. $2,500, 000 | ‘The money ordered returned to lhc subscribers today after payment ! mt legal expenses, represents th | expended portion of more th; 000,000 raised in this country for the '; Irish Republic.
