MR. O'KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is true that Sergeant Harvey, Royal Irish Constabulary, attended a meeting of the Cootehill branch of the Irish National League, in the county Roscommon, on Sunday last, and refused to withdraw at the request of the Secretary, Mr. James O'Hara; whether it is true that Sergeant Harvey has used insulting and threatening language to Mr. O'Hara on several occasions; and, whether he will inquire into the truth of the allegations made against Sergeant Harvey?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

Sergeant Harvey did not attend the meeting of this branch of the National League on Sunday last. He applied for admission to the meeting on the 12th instant, but was refused, and at once withdrew. I am informed that he has never used insulting or threatening language to Mr. O'Hara.
