HC Deb 13 February 1890 vol 341 c208
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is a fact, as stated in the Cork papers of Tuesday the 11th, that on Sunday last, the 9th inst, the funeral of a little child belonging to Mr. Daniel Kelly, T.C., Tipperary, which left the town at 3 o'clock in the afternoon for the burial ground at Kilpatrick, was followed by five armed policemen, who, when the cortege had proceeded about two miles from the town, drove up at a furious pace and went even into the graveyard, and remained there while the sacred rites were proceeding; and to ask by whose orders this was done?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have received no information as yet upon the subject.

DR. TANNER

How soon will it suit the convenience of the right hon. Gentleman to answer the question?
