HC Deb 22 July 1887 vol 317 cc1763-4
SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If policemen are sent to watch the proceedings of the County Dublin National Registration Association at Blackrock; and, if so, for what reasons?

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER, SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)

(who replied): No, Sir; the police have never received any instructions with regard to the proceedings alluded to.

SIR THOMAS ESMONDE

said, he wished to know was it a fact that the police did watch the proceedings?

COLONEL KING-HARMAN

said, he was not in a position to say. He would only say that they had received no instruction to watch any particular house.

SIR THOMAS ESMONDS

said, he would ask that Question on Monday.
