§ MR. MOLLOYcalled the attention of the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to the cases tried at the Petty Sessions of Fahy, King's County, on 13th February instant, viz. 1367 the cases of Saunderson v. Meredith, Lenchan v. Meredith, and the same v. the same, each being cases of assault, and asked, If it be true that the defendant Meredith was convicted in each case, and compelled to enter into and find sureties of £100 each to keep the peace for 12 months; whether the said Saunderson is the Dr. Saunderson, the medical doctor of the district, and Lenchan, the other plaintiff, is the servant of Dr. Saunderson; whether the said Meredith is Mr. Charles Meredith of Coolville of Rhode, in the said county, and is at present under military protection; whether, upon the decision above-mentioned of the presiding magistrate, the said Meredith expressed his contempt for the decision given, and then called upon the people "to Boycott Dr. Saunderson," and expressed his intention of using his efforts to do so; and, if this be the case, whether he will issue a warrant for the apprehension of the said Meredith; and, if not, if he will release those whom he has imprisoned upon the same charge?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOB IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)This Question, and the remaining Questions which were to have been put to the Chief Secretary for Ireland, I must ask hon. Gentlemen to postpone until the Chief Secretary is in his place, which I hope will be this evening. Most of them are personal matters addressed to himself, and some of them are Questions which, of course, were matters of policy, and would be entirely beyond my province.
