§ MR. REDMOND (for Mr. DILLON)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the re- 1962 sident magistrate at Lorrha Petty Sessions, on the 7th July, in the case of a cross summons, bound all the parties to keep the peace, without postponing the case, in the absence through illness of a principal witness; and, whether Larkin, one of the parties so bound over to keep the peace, has been granted a licence to carry a revolver, and whether this will now be revoked?
§ MR. TREVELYANThere was no Resident Magistrate at Lorrha Petty Sessions on the 7th instant. There were two local magistrates on the Bench, and in the case referred to they bound all the parties to keep the peace. On the 14th of June last, Larkin, one of the parties, was granted a licence to have a revolver. The Resident Magistrate informs me that he is a respectable man, with a large stake in the country; and he is strongly of opinion that his licence should not be revoked.
