MR. MAC NEILLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he will permit an inspection of the battering ram, at present in the police barracks at Falcarragh, for the purpose of constructing a working model of that instrument?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI see no object in adopting the suggestion of the hon. Gentleman. I believe he has already been allowed to see the ram.
MR. MAC NEILLI wish Englishmen to see it; but I would ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, as there is so much mystery about the matter, he intends to take out a patent for the ram?
