§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether any further steps have been taken by the police authorities in the City of Cork to bring to justice the men who were guilty of gross misconduct and drunkenness on a recent occasion in the Cork Theatre; whether their respective names were Fitzgerald, son of the Knight of Glynn, and Hussey, son of Samuel Hussey, the well known land agent; and, whether their statement that they were magistrates, and if the address given by them, the County Cork Club, is correct?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)I am afraid I have no information to give the hon. Gentleman.
§ DR. TANNERWhen am I to get an answer? Is it in consequence of these gentlemen being friends of the right hon. Gentleman, and of high social position, that he will not inquire into the matter?
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
