HC Deb 30 August 1887 vol 320 c461
MR. T. E. ELLIS (Merionethshire)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether there is any reason for connecting the perpetration of the outrage upon Canon Browne's residence at Bodfair with the fact that he gave evidence before Mr. Bridge's Tithe Inquiry?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) () Birmingham, E.

The information I have received does not connect this outrage with the fact that the reverend gentleman gave evidence before Mr. Bridge. I have asked the Chief Constable the question; but have not as yet received his reply.
