§ MR. VINCENT SCULLYsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether any, and how many, 90 extra Police are or will be stationed at or near the spot where the late Mr. Thie-bault was murdered; what is the estimated cost of such extra force, and will it be charged on the occupiers of any, and which particular townlands?
§ SIR ROBERT PEELsaid, the Government had sent down ten extra policemen to the locality where Mr. Thiebault was assassinated. The estimated cost of each man was £35 per annum, payable in advance. As long as these men were stationed there, the cost of their maintenance would be charged on the townlands in the vicinity; but of course the townland of Rockville would not be charged, because it was the property of the brother of the murdered man.
