§ 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 ESMONDEsaid, he wished to know was it a fact that the police did watch the proceedings?
§ COLONEL KING-HARMANsaid, he was not in a position to say. He would 1764 only say that they had received no instruction to watch any particular house.
