HC Deb 15 May 1882 vol 269 c677
MR. DILLON

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether, on Tuesday, at Doon, Pallas Green, county Limerick, the police tore down the placards containing Address, signed by Messrs. Parnell, Dillon, and Davit, condemning the assassination, and calling on the people to aid in bringing murderers to justice; whether the police, on being questioned, said they acted under orders; and, whether Pallas Green is Mr. Clifford Lloyd's district; and, if so, what steps he proposes to take?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)

Sir, the Constabulary removed some of the placards referred to in this Question; but, on its coming to the notice of the authorities, the police were directed not to interfere with them; and I do not propose to take any further steps in the matter. I believe that, as a matter of fact, Pallas Green is in Mr. Lloyd's district.
