HC Deb 10 August 1882 vol 273 cc1377-8
MR. T. P. O'CONNOR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, By whose authority and at whose request has a party of Marines been stationed along with the Police in each of the police stations of Aughrim and Kilconnell, and are the extra pay and expenses of the Marines to be made payable by the district; and, whether the Police in charge of those districts have reported a single case of outrage?

MR. TREVELYAN

The hon. Member for Wexford (Mr. Healy) put a similar Question to me on the 3rd instant, and my answer is correctly reported in The Times of the following day. The point of the Question appears to be whe- ther the expense of these Marines is to be levied off the district. The hon. Member will see that I explained that the cost of Marines or soldiers employed on such duty is borne by the Army Votes.
