HC Deb 04 February 1881 vol 258 c163
MR. FINIGAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he has any official information of the resolution passed on Saturday 22nd January, by the Mohill (county Leitrim) Guardians, in which they refuse to grant the workhouse for the use of troops, and in which they declare that Leitrim county is peaceable and requires no military?

MR. W. E. FORSTER,

in reply, said, I have seen the resolution of the Board of Guardians to which the hon. Member refers; but it contains no allusion to the state of the county as regards crime, nor as regards its peaceable condition. It simply contains information with regard to the accommodation for paupers available in the workhouse.
