HC Deb 17 June 1886 vol 306 c1704
CAPTAIN M'CALMONT

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If it is true that the police lately seized a case containing 14 revolvers, one double-barrelled gun, and 50 rounds of ammunition for each revolver, consigned to Arthur Dunne, a prominent Nationalist of Lisnaskea, county Fermanagh; and, whether Arthur Dunne was in possession of a licence for the sale of firearms?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne)

It is true that the police seized the arms and ammunition referred to. They were consigned to Arthur Dunne, who had no licence, but of whose politics the Government have no knowledge whatsoever. The case is before the Attorney General.
