§ MR. BIGGARasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, seeing that young Waller had firearms in his possession on the occasion of the riots in Derry in November last, he will make inquiry as to whether Waller had an excise licence to carry arms, and, if not, why has he not been prosecuted for a violation of 33 and 34 Vic. c. 57; whether he had special licence to carry arms in a proclaimed district, and, if not, why he has not been prosecuted under the Crimes Act; and, to ask same questions regarding Taylor and Mr. Candlers, who were charged with firing revolvers at female factory hands?
§ MR. TREVELYANWith regard to this Question, there are several persons concerned about whom Questions have been asked on both sides of this affair; and I would be rather glad if the hon. Member postponed his Question till next Monday, when I will give a complete answer.
