HC Deb 20 May 1881 vol 261 cc962-3
MR. HEALY

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it was true, as stated in the morning newspapers, that four pieces of artillery in a flying column had been sent against the peasantry of Limerick; and, if so, whether he had yet received any news from the seat of war?

MR. CHILDERS

I do not know whether the hon. Gentleman puts this Question to me seriously. [Mr. HEALY: Yes.] Then, all I can say is, that I have not seen the paragraph in the newspapers to which he alludes.
