Shelbourne Hotel was occupied on Monday night by the British Forces, who, with the aid of machine guns, dominated St. Stephen's Green. This building was to have been occupied by Leiut, George Norgrove and fifty men. The McNeill order cancelling Easter Sunday's mobilization upset original plan. Norgrove was called to another post of pressing importance at the City Hall.
