§ MR. M'COANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, having regard to the continued peacefulness of the county, as attested by the police reports and the charges of the judges at the recent assizes, the Irish Government will now revoke the proclamation of County Wicklow; and, if not, if he could state the reason why?
§ MR. TREVELYANThe licensing officer for the county of Wicklow has instructions, on which he states he has acted to a considerable extent, to be as liberal as possible with respect to the granting of licences for arms, so that I do not think it likely that the proclamation causes any serious inconvenience to peaceable and well-disposed persons. I will, however, ask Lord Spencer to take the matter again into consideration on his return to Ireland this week.
