HC Deb 14 February 1881 vol 258 cc760-1
MR. O'KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land, If he could state to the House on what grounds the barony of Boyle, in the county of Roscommon, has been proclaimed?

MR. W. E. FORSTER,

in reply, said, that parts of the County Roscommon were declared to be in such a state of disturbance as to require an additional establishment of police, which was accordingly provided in the district of Boyle, which was proclaimed by the Lord Lieutenant. He saw by the Returns that had been laid before the House that there were at present four persons under special police protection, and 16 others who had to be specially watched over by the police in the County Roscommon.
