§ MR. REDMONDasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the inquiry instituted by the Commissioners of National Education into the alleged assault on Mr. Boylan, National School teacher, by Captain L'Estrange, R.M. has yet concluded; and, if so, with what result?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, that the inquiry in this case had also concluded. The Commissioners thought it necessary to point out that their rules and regulations required the manager of a school to receive visitors courteously. Those who had not done so were admonished severely. The Commissioners, at the same time, were of opinion that Captain L'Estrange had acted hastily.
§ MR. REDMONDasked whether they were to understand that the Chief Secretary for Ireland would reprove Captain L'Estrange as the others had been reproved?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERsaid, he did not think there was any necessity for doing so; but he thought Captain L'Estrange had acted hastily.
