HC Deb 10 July 1882 vol 271 c1944
MR. MOLLOY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he can now advise the Lord Lieutenant to release William Kennedy, arrested on the 16th March last under the Protection of Person and Property Act; and, if the district (Philipstown) is not and has not always been most peaceable?

MR. TREVELYAN

His Excellency cannot at present order William Kennedy's release. He lives in the Edenderry district, where there has been, and is, much dangerous feeling. Several persons are "Boycotted," and under personal protection in the district. The state of the Philipstown district also is unsatisfactory.
