HC Deb 21 March 1889 vol 334 cc377-8
MR. JOHN ELLIS

asked the Solicitor General for Ireland what number of persons arrested by the constabulary in the Gweedore district for alleged complicity in the murder of District Inspector Martin have since been released; in how many of the cases was the arrest made by warrant; and against how many of them had there been information sworn?

*MR. MADDEN

The Constabulary authorities report that 44 persons have been arrested in connection with the murder of District Inspector Martin. Twenty-three of these were subsequently released, of whom, however, two have been rearrested on further evidence. None of the arrests were made by warrant or on sworn information, but on private information received by the police.
