HC Deb 21 July 1890 vol 347 cc356-7
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the charge of Judge Gibson, at the present Cork County Assizes, in which the learned Judge stated that offences of a moonlighting character are of frequent occurrence in the barony of Duhallow; if he can state at what date was Duhallow proclaimed under the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act; and under what sections of the Act the district is proclaimed?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I am informed that it is the case that the Judge referred in his charge to the prevalence of moonlighting in the barony of Duhallow. The barony was proclaimed (with two others), with regard to Section 7 of the Statute quoted on the 17th of September, 1887. As part of the county it had also been proclaimed on the 23rd of the previous July, with regard to Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4.
