§ MR. JUSTIN M'CARTHYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, On what grounds the Irish Executive have given notice of their intention to send a police hut and an extra police force for the protection of Mr. John M'Guire, of Loran, in the county of Longford; and, whether any outrages whatever have been committed in the district which justify its subjection to this increase of taxation?
§ MR. TREVELYANJohn M'Guire has been subjected to great annoyance and "Boycotting"—a bad feeling against him having been caused amongst some persons in the district in consequence, it is thought, of his father-in-law having taken an evicted farm. The police believed M'Guire to be in great danger, and two men were placed in his house for his protection. They are not chargeable to the district. The Government have not given any such notice as is stated in the Question of an intention to send a police hut and extra police to the district. But inquiry has been made as to whether a suitable site for a hut could be had, in the event of its being considered necessary to erect one.
