HC Deb 12 July 1887 vol 317 c522
MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I wish to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that during the evictions now going on in Wexford, on the Brooke estate, a house was burned to the ground on yesterday, before the Sheriff had taken possession of it; and whether the bailiff who burned that house on the previous day was deliberately proceeding to throw the women from the top window of a house until the police rushed in and rescued the women?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

No, Sir; I have no information at all on the subject. If the hon. Member will put down the Question on the Paper I will answer it to-morrow.
