HC Deb 09 May 1881 vol 261 cc10-1
MR. SEXTON (for Mr. BIGGAR)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Is it a fact that the police under sub-inspector Barry of Ballinamon, when out assisting bailiffs to serve ejectments on the "King" property near Ballinamon did, when they found a house tenantless, search it, and, if they found no one in charge drank all the milk and sucked all the eggs they could find on the premises; and, if the allegation is true, will he take means to have the guilty parties punished?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

Sir, I have made inquiries into the facts of this matter, and I am glad to say that these charges against the constables are quite unfounded.
