MR. MAC NEILLasked the Solicitor General for Ireland whether his attention had been called to the fact that a woman named Bessie Doolan, upwards of eighty years of age, one of the tenants on the Olphert estate, whose eviction was stayed about three weeks ago on account of her illness, was evicted from her holding within the last few days, and that she died on 1706 Tuesday evening from the effects of privation and exposure; whether the Government intend to institute any inqury into the circumstances of her death; whether any precautions will be taken for the preservation of the lives of destitute women and children on the Glasheroo portion of Mr. Olphert's estate, who are to be evicted on Monday next; and, whether the report is true that directions have been given to burn the houses, from which the people of Glasheroo are about to be evicted, with paraffin oil; and, if so, by whom will the cost of the paraffin oil be defrayed?
§ MR. MADDENI must ask the hon. Gentleman to postpone the question. A Report has been called for which has not yet been received.
