HC Deb 22 May 1882 vol 269 c1265
MR. BRODRICK

asked the Prime Minister, Whether he could now state what compensation, if any, the Government intended to propose to the destitute families of Irish tenant farmers who had been murdered for paying their rent?

MR. GLADSTONE

I have received no communication from the Irish Executive on the subject, and I think it is one which, in the first instance, will be rather for their consideration than for mine.

MR. BRODRICK

gave Notice that he would repeat the Question on Thursday, when he would put it to the Chief Secretary for Ireland.
