HC Deb 12 July 1888 vol 328 c1073
MR. KILBRIDE (Kerry, S.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether complaints have reached him that at the eviction of Philip Currane, near Cahirciveen, County Kerry, the rent of whose farm was £27 10s., and the valuation only £11, on the property of Captain Magill, formerly a valuer to the Irish Land Commission, and now manager of a Landlord Association in Ireland, known as the Land Corporation Company, a Sheriff's bailiff, named William B. Golden, was guilty of indecent and illegal conduct; and whether, under such circumstances, he will continue police protection to the Sheriff?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

, in reply, said, that no complaint had reached him on the subject; but, as he had already pointed out in answer to another Question, any person feeling aggrieved by reason of the action of the bailiff had a remedy against the Sheriff in a Court of Law.

THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN (Mr. SEXTON) (Belfast, W.)

asked, was that the practice of the Government in Ireland, when a Report of a crime was made, not to send the police to inquire whether a person had been injured or not?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

said, he had received no Report of the kind.
