Wm. Kenny was charged before a military tribunal on the 23rd March, 1923, with being in possession without proper authority of arms and ammunition. He was found guilty and was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.
I may add that the prisoner has not yet made application for the review of his sentence by the Commissioners appointed for the purpose under the provisions of the Indemnity Act, 1923.
It is not practicable to release him.
