§ MR. MACARTNEY (Antrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a list of 29 outrages, published in the Globe, 12th August, 1890, alleged to have been committed in connection with the dispute on the Smith-Barry estate, in the County of Tipperary, from September, 1889, until June last, including attempts to intimidate by means of personal violence, arson, destruction of property, attacks on the police, and the use of explosives; and whether he can state in how many of the cases mentioned any one has been made amenable?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURMy attention has been called, by my hon. Friend's question and by the copy of the paper he was good enough to send me, to the list of 29 outrages committed in connection with the combination against payment of rent on the Smith-Barry estate. I have made inquiries into the matter, and the list appears to be perfectly accurate.
§ MR. SEXTONasked whether it included the outrages by the Police Constable Palmer, who had not been made amenable?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURNo, Sir.
