§ MR. MURPHY (Dublin, St. Patrick's)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, at a meeting held in the private dwelling of a Mr. Bagnall, at Tallaght, in the County of Dublin, on the 28th of July last, to consider questions relating to the Dublin and Blessington Tramway, a force of Constabulary, ascompanied by a Government note-taker, demanded admission to the meeting; what justification had the police for this intrusion; and will directions be given to prevent a repetition of such conduct on the part of the Constabulary at Tallaght?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIt appears that the meeting was summoned by placard, to protest against the tramway, and it was to have been held in the open air, but was afterwards adjourned to Mr. Bagnall's house. The police on being refused admission made no attempt to enter the house, and, therefore, there was no intrusion.
