HC Deb 15 August 1882 vol 273 cc1830-1
MR. O'DONNELL (for Mr. SEXTON)

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, If he can assign any reason for the proclamation of the parish of Ematris, county Monaghan, under the Crime Prevention Act; whether it is true that no grave offence, either agrarian or other, has been committed in that parish for a very considerable period; and, whether it can be alleged that there is any "apprehension of crime and outrage," with reference to the parish of Ematris?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)

Sir, the only answer I can make to this Question is that the Executive in Ireland had sufficient grounds in their possession for proclaiming this district.
