§ MR. W. A. MACDONALDI wish to ask the Attorney General for Ireland if he has seen a paragraph in the Echo of Saturday, headed "Moonlighting by a Policeman," which states that Constable Palmer had been convicted of smashing the windows of two houses, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment, but that the District Inspector said there would be some difficulty in finding him because he had left the country, upon which the Magistrate made an observation as to the conduct of the police in allowing the man to escape. If the statement is true will inquiry be made into the conduct of the police; and will the Return presented to the House contain a Return of outrages committed by the police themselves?
§ *MR. MADDENI must ask the hon. Gentleman to put the question on the Paper.
