Ban imposed on Arms imports to Ireland.

                     A sketch from the satirical magazine, Punch. Sir Edward Carson instructs Customs Officer 
                           Birrell to search John Redmond: "That's just the sort of bag he'd have a couple of howitzers
                           concealed in."
