HC Deb 15 July 1890 vol 346 c1731
COLONEL SAUNDERSON (Armagh, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, on the night of the 7th instant, a yearling colt belonging to the Knight of Glyn was killed on an evicted farm of his at Tullyglass, a three year old colt stabbed in 30 places, and a two year old colt cut in two places; and whether any arrests have been made in consequence?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)

The Constabulary Authorities report that it is the case that on the 8th instant a yearling colt belonging to the Knight of Glyn was found killed on an evicted farm of his. The colt's skull had been battered in, and there were several wounds over the body as if inflicted with a hay fork. A three year old colt was also found stabbed in 30 places, apparently with a hay fork, and a two year old colt was likewise found cut in two places. No arrests have so far been made.

MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

Is there any extra Police Force at the place?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I do not know, but will inquire.
