§ SIR HERVEY BRUCEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If his attention has been drawn to a paragraph in the "Belfast Newsletter" of February 23rd, stating, that, on previous day, four sheriffs' bailiffs were attacked in the county of Tyrone in the discharge of their duties, information having been given of their presence by the children who turned out of a neighbouring school; and, if so, whether he can say whether the statement is correct?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERSir, the accounts contained in the newspapers are in some respect exaggerated. No attack was made on the bailiffs, and the police distinctly deny that the schoolchildren were turned out of the neighbouring school, and say that the contrary was the case, and that they heard the schoolmaster order them into the school.
