§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Fermanagh, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Rev. J. Brown, C.C. of Ramsgrange, County Wexford, has received a communication from the Resident Magistrate of the district, informing him that he would be followed by the police if he did not refrain from holding meetings of the National League; and whether, in pursuance of this threat, it is true that a police constable followed Father Brown into the house of a dying woman; and, if so, whether the police acted in accordance with their instructions, and whether this part of the County Wexford is quite free from crime?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have not yet been able to obtain the information which would enable me to answer the question.
§ MR. W. REDMONDAre we to understand that a matter such as this can occur without the knowledge of the right hon. Gentleman the Attorney General for Ireland?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIt is a question whether it did occur.
§ MR. W. REDMONDI beg to give notice that I will repeat the question tomorrow.
