§ MR. DEASY (for Mr. SMALL)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is a fact that Mr. Averell Lloyd, a magistrate residing at Tamnamore, county Tyrone, was fined, at the Armagh Quarter Sessions, on an appeal from the magistrates, for assaulting Thomas Harbison; and, what course the Government intend to take in the matter?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI find this matter was under the consideration of the late Lord Chancellor, who came to the conclusion that, although an assault of a trivial character had undoubtedly taken place, yet, as it was committed in the supposed exercise of a legal right, it did not appear to be a case for further notice.
