§ MR. WILLIAM CORBET (East Wicklow)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenamt of Ireland if it is true that the Constabulary broke into the house of the Rev. Father Farrelly at Arklow, early on the morning of the 26th instant, to effect his arrest; whether it is the fact that the reverend gentleman has been performing his duties openly day by day since the warrant was issued several weeks ago; and, what was the object in postponing the execution of the warrant for such a length of time?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have received some information on the subject, but not enough to enable me to answer the whole of this question. I should be glad, therefore, if the hon. Gentleman would postpone it till to-morrow.
§ MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)Has the right hon. Gentleman received information with reference to the question that was asked on this subject yesterday, when the Solicitor General for Ireland promised to inquire as to whether the reverend gentleman wrote to the County Inspector to inform him that he was ready to be arrested, and, if so, how it happened that the warrant remained unexecuted for five weeks?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIf the right hon. Gentleman will put his question on the paper, it will be answered along with the question put by the hon. Gentleman the Member for East Wicklow.
