§ MR. HEALYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether police protection was withdrawn from John Lyne, Ardnatrush, Bantry, county Cork, and whether Mr. Lyne himself was arrested by the police; and, if he would state why police protection was withdrawn?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, that personal police protection was withdrawn from Mr. Lyne at his own request. There was no foundation for the statement that he had been arrested by the police. On one occasion last autumn the Constabulary thought it prudent to shelter him for the night in the barracks, for which he expressed his thanks.
