§ MR. O'KELLYasked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether there was any foundation for the statements published that a strict and confidential Circular had been issued to the superior officers of the Irish Constabulary, enforcing the necessity of their entering on a register the names of persons suspected of committing crimes and of the crimes they were likely to commit?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. LAW), in reply, said, the supposed discovery of this Circular was a mistake. No such Circular had been issued, and the words referred to were a portion of the ordinary Code of the Constabulary, which had to act as a detective force, as well as for the protection of the peace.
