HC Deb 13 March 1884 vol 285 c1328
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If his attention has been drawn to the prosecution, in February last, of Thomas Olwill, for alleged forcible entry on a farm from which he had been evicted, in the parish of Lavey and county of Cavan; whether Sub-Inspector Tilly said— The defendant would not be brought into Court at all had the bailiff informed me of the true state of facts; and, whether the defendant is entitled to compensation for the expense and trouble he has suffered?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, my attention has been drawn to this case. The District Inspector did make the statement mentioned. If any wrong has been committed it has not been by the police, who took action on the sworn deposition of the bailiff, and Olwill has his remedy at law.
