A foreign (American?) citizen who was interned as an alien but sympathised with the Irish nationalists wanted permission for a friend to visit him. The Commission said they had no objection so the visitors were allowed.

J. J. Macconnastair alias Nestor
24.4.18 C S for Ireland’s Order, Defence of the Realm Regn (1413) Internment
The above prisoner was received from here on 4/7/18 from Brixton.
He calls himself a Sinn Feiner but is interned under the rules for Aliens.
He wishes to send the attached V.O. and states that he has permission from the HO to be visited by these persons, and that he was so visited at Brixton, but I have only his word. As an Alien he would be entitled to a visit, but owing to his connection with the Sinn Feiners movement the question is submitted.
