§ MR. FINUCANE (Limerick, E.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If his attention had been directed to the eviction of Mrs. Moloney, at Herbertstown, County Limerick; whether he was aware that she was 80 years of age and in a bad condition of health; and, whether the evicting landlords and the Sheriff were not told that the eviction would probably lead to her death, yet refused to stay the eviction; whether Mrs. Moloney died the third day after her eviction; and, whether the Government would order an investigation into the conduct of the Sheriff?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)My recollection of the facts does not absolutely tally with that of the hon. Gentleman; and I must ask him to put the Question on the Paper, and I will look into it, as I would not like to trust myself to give an answer to the House without having an opportunity of refreshing my memory.
