§ MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUEsaid, that perhaps the Secretary of State for the Home Department would state to the House, What information he bad received relative to the Fenian outbreak in Ireland?
§ MR. WALPOLEDespatches have been received, Sir, giving a more detailed account of the movement which was announced yesterday by my noble Friend the Chief Secretary for Ireland in the telegram which he then read. I do not, however, know that any particular information is given in them beyond what has appeared in the leading journal of to-day. I may, however, make this remark, that in some of the public journals I regret to find that the facts are rather more highly coloured than is justifiable. The only account which I have received this morning is a telegram, which reads as follows:—
11.45 a.m.—Railway line open to Cork. Thirteen prisoners brought into Limerick from Kilmallock. Some wounded; three shot dead. No event of any importance is reported as having occurred last night. Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Waterford quiet.
