§ MR. CAREW (Kildare, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to the Resolution which was passed at a meeting of the inhabitants of Naas on the 12th instant, demanding a sworn inquiry into the conduct of the officers responsible for the attack by the police on the people on the evening of the 3rd instant; and, if so, what steps he intends to take in the matter?
THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN)(who replied) said (Dublin University)The Government saw no reason for holding a sworn inquiry such as was suggested in the Question. It was not intended to take any steps in the matter, as the facts showed that no unnecessary violence was used on the occasion.
