HC Deb 10 July 1882 vol 271 c1954
MR. FITZ-PATRICK

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, having regard to the threats used by three men named George Richmond, John Reilly, and Francis Grundy towards the widow of the man John Kenny, recently murdered in Dublin, and the danger she is now apparently in from the vengeance of the secret societies in Ireland, he will recommend that she be given such grant of money as will enable her and her family to leave the Country, and thus avoid the fate of the unfortunate man Bernard Bailey, who, though anxious to leave the United Kingdom, was refused the necessary pecuniary aid, and was in consequence murdered a few days afterwards?

MR. TREVELYAN

Careful steps have been taken for the protection of Mrs. Kenny and her children. I am communicating with His Excellency as to the question of her future safety.
