THE O'DONOGHUEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will cause inquiry to be made into a case of eviction which has, within the last few days, taken place in the barony of Irraghticonnor and townland of Moybella, county of Kerry, in which Patrick Macnamara, wife, and nine children, were evicted and cast upon the roadside; and, if it be not true that since the eviction Patrick Macnamara has died on the road and left his family in a starving and dying state?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERI have received a Report, Sir, from the Constabulary, from which it appears that Patrick Macnamara and his family, consisting of his wife and seven—not nine—of his children were evicted on the 22nd instant. Macnamara, I am told, had several friends in the neighbourhood who would have taken him in. He erected a shelter on the roadside near his late farm, where he keeps his family. I received a telegram this morning to say that there is no truth in the rumour that he is dead; but within the last hour I have received a telegram stating that last night about 10 o'clock he was put back in the tenancy by a large party of men with blackened faces, some of them armed, and the two men in charge of the place were assaulted.
