MAJOR STUART KNOXsaid, he would beg to ask the noble Lord at the head of the Government a Question of which he had given him private notice, it was 2193 Whether the noble Lord is aware that a great party demonstration is to take place in Dublin on the occasion of the inauguration of the O'Connell Statue; and whether the Government will allow the provisions of the Processions and Party Emblems Acts to be set at nought on that occasion, as was the case at the funeral of Mr. M'Manus?
§ VISCOWT PALMERSTONReally, Sir, I have no information on the subject. I take it for granted that whenever the event to which the hon. and gallant Member has referred may be expected to take place, the Government will take all the measures which it will be their duty to take in order to preserve public order.
