§ MR. REDMONDasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table of the House, a Copy of the Correspondence which has lately taken place between the Corporation of Londonderry and the Government, with reference to the occurrence of alleged outrages at the foot of Bishop Street (Without), in Londonderry, and. of the consequent necessity for the erection thereat of a new and costly police barracks; whether the outrages so alleged were attributed to the Roman Catholics of the locality, and whether really no such outrages took place at all; whether, it being alleged that the Roman Catholics had severely beaten and injured some of the servants at Government House, the residence of the agent of the Irish Society, and that, in consequence thereof, the protection of the police for the agent was sought for and obtained; and, whether it has since transpired that no such outrage had been perpetrated, but that some of the 1241 Society's employés, having stolen a quantity of whiskey that came by railway with the Society, they got drunk upon it, and beat and severely outraged each other, and then charged the peaceable Roman Catholic inhabitants of the locality with a party outrage?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, that the Correspondence referred to by the hon. Member had taken place; but there was not, he thought, sufficient interest in it to warrant its being laid on the Table, unless the hon. Member chose to move for it, when there would be no objection to its production.
