HC Deb 10 May 1881 vol 261 c177
MR. M'COAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he can state to the House the Report received front the Irish Police authorities respecting an alleged riot at Baltinglass on Thursday last, in which, according to the Dublin correspondence of the "Times" of Saturday, many Protestant houses were wrecked, and other serious outrages committed? He wished to add that he had received telegrams contradicting the report, and stating that it was a case of a few boys throwing some stones, the matter being grossly exaggerated.

MR. W. E. FORSTER

All I can say is, I have not yet received sufficient information with regard to this matter, and the hon. Member will be kind enough to repeat the Question on Thursday or
