HC Deb 24 July 1882 vol 272 c1539
COLONEL ALEXANDER

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is true, as stated in the "Times" of the 20th instant, that a van on the Water-ford and Limerick Railway, containing a large number of rifles and a quantity of ammunition, was broken into at Waterford, and the rifles as well as ammunition carried off; whether any of the stolen property has been recovered; and, whether it is true that the van was left without a military guard?

MR. CHILDERS

The hon. and gallant Gentleman will be glad to hear that there is no truth in the report to which he refers.
