§ LORD ARTHUR HILLasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in the case of Police Constable Linton, who was murdered in Church Street, Loughrea, county Galway, at about 10.20 p.m. on the 24th of last month, the authorities are prosecuting any inquiries as to the circumstances under which the deceased came by his death; and, whether any, and, if any, what, reward has been offered by the Government for the apprehension of the person by whom Police Constable Linton was murdered?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, that the authorities were making all possible inquiries into the case referred to, and that two persons had been arrested on sworn informations. As yet no reward had been offered; but, if it was found necessary, there would, of course, be no hesitation in offering a reward.
