§ MR. O'KELLYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 362 Whether it is true that an old labouring man named John Mackey, while returning from his work, was attacked by a party of Orangemen at Killyfaddy, near Clogher, on the night of the 13th of November; whether the assailants lit matches to scan Mr. Mackey's face, and, having satisfied themselves of his personality, beat him so cruelly that he had to be carried to his home in Clogher; whether his life is in danger from the attack of which he is the victim; whether any arrests have been made in connection with this outrage; and, whether, as Clogher is a proclaimed district, the provisions of the Prevention of Crime Act will be put in force to discover the authors of this outrage, and the direction of the investigations committed to a magistrate who is not a member of the Orange Society?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI cannot at present add anything to my former answer with respect to this case. The summonses which I referred to as pending are still pending, and will be heard on the 9th of this month.
