And, WHEREAS, such armed resistance to His Majesty's authority still continues,
Now I, Ivor Churchill Baron Wimborne, Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland, by virtue of all the powers thereunto me enabling,
Do hereby proclaim that, from and after the date of this Proclamation, and for the period of one month thereafter (unless otherwise ordered), that part of the United Kingdom called Ireland is under and subject to Martial Law.

And I warn all peaceable and law-abiding subjects in Ireland of the danger of frequenting, or being in, any place in or in the vicinity of which His Majesty's Forces are engaged in the suppression of disorder.
And I do declare that all persons found carrying arms, without lawful authority, are liable to be dealt with by virtue of this Proclamation.
