§ MR. MOOREasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether it is true the Constabulary in Ireland have received orders from their officers forbidding them to carry out the provisions afforded by the Licensing Act, 1872, against adulteration of liquor; and, if such be the case, to ask the reason for such order?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, in reply, said, he was informed by the Inspector General of Irish Constabulary that he had issued no orders of the kind referred to, and he was not aware that any such orders had been issued. He had communicated with the County 752 Inspectors on the subject, but had not yet received their Report.
