§ MR LALOR (for Mr. ARTHUR O'CONNOR)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the neighbourhood of Monasterevan, in Kildare, has remained free from outrages; whether Messrs. James Dowling, Denis Somers, Terence Byrne, Simon Malone, and Arthur Moloney, of that district, were arrested on suspicion; whether Messrs. Terence Byrne and Denis Somers have been liberated; and, whether the same considerations which led him to consent to their liberation will apply to the cases of Messrs. Dowling, Malone, and Moloney?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER,in reply, said, that most of these men had been released. The cases of the remaining four prisoners had been considered—one had been released, and the other three could not with safety be released at present.
