HC Deb 13 November 1882 vol 274 c1288
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, For what reason was the licence to carry arms by Mr. P. L. White revoked; is he aware that a gun taken from Mr. White was by Rigby, of Dublin, costing £31 10s. 0d.; and, on what grounds has the amount (£15 15s. 0d.) claimed by Mr. White as compensation not been paid by the Government?

MR. TREVELYAN

I must decline to state the circumstances which called for the revocation of Patrick White's arms' licence. I am informed that the gun is one of Rigby's; but I do not know what it cost. The Sub-Inspector offered Mr. White£2 compensation—that being what he considered the gun was worth. White refused to accept this offer, and the gun has been sent to the county store to be re-valued.
