§ MR. J. O'CONNORfor Dr. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any inquiry has been, or will be, made into the alleged firing on and assaulting of Messrs. Sullivan and Riordan by a gang of rioters near Dean Moriarty's land in the vicinity of Millstreet, County Cork, on Tuesday, the 12th instant; whether it is true Sullivan was brutally beaten, and suffered from the infliction of several scalp wounds; and whether any attempt will be made to put down the violence now displayed in Millstreet? I have also to ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he is aware that, on Tuesday night last, Mr. Sullivan, of Millstreet, was struck from behind a severe blow on the head by a sling shot while 1207 passing through the streets of the town; and whether any attempt is being made to bring to justice the individual who perpetrated this outrage?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am at present unable to reply to these questions.
