HC Deb 22 May 1890 vol 344 c1590
MR. T. M. HEALY

I wish to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, now that the station-master at Carrickmacross has surrendered the evicted house, and the boycott has in consequence been removed from the Great Northern Local Railway, the Government will mark their sense of the restoration of peace in the town by releasing the three gentlemen sentenced to six months' imprisonment for boycotting the line?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I understand that it is the case that the railway company having completed the building of the house for their station master he has removed into it from the house which he had temporarily occupied during its construction. The Lord Lieutenant is not aware of anything in the circumstances of the case of the prisoners referred to which would suggest any interference with the course of the law.
