§ MR. TUITE (Westmeath, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether an Orange flag was exhibited from one of the windows of the Constabulary barrack in Obins Street, Portdadown, on the morning of the 12th instant, during the Orange celebrations in that town; and, if so, will the Inspector General of Constabulary take any action in the matter?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.), in reply, said, that the District Inspector of Constabulary reported that the allegations contained in the Question of the hon. Member were devoid of foundation.
§ THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN (Mr. SEXTON) (Belfast, W.)I wish to ask whether the whole town did not see the flag out of the window; and, whether the right hon. Gentleman will make further inquiries into the matter?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIf the right hon. Gentleman will lay the facts before me on which he relies, I will consider them.
