HC Deb 02 August 1878 vol 242 cc995-6
MR. M'CARTHY DOWNING

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether, considering the absence of all serious crime in the county and city of Cork, as testified to by the going Judges of Assizes and County Judges for the present and last year, the said county and city ought not to be relieved from the operation of the proclamations to which they are subject under the Peace Preservation Acts?

MR. J. LOWTHER

Sir, the Government will fully consider the Report of the remarks of the learned Judges to which the hon. Gentleman refers, and the case of all the districts to which the Act applies will be fully considered. I cannot now say what decision may be arrived at.
