§ MR. MACNEILLMay I inform the Chief Secretary for Ireland that I have to-day received a telegram from one of the parish priests at Gweedore, and ask him whether it is true that a relieving officer has received: notice of the imminent eviction of sixteen families on the estate of Mrs. Orr; and 52 whether, having regard to the fact which I have brought to the notice of the House that the cause of the eviction is merely the question of costs between landlord and tenant, he will not allow the Forces of the Crown to be employed?
§ * MR. JACKSONI have no information with reference to this case except that which the hon. Gentleman has just given to me of course, I. can make no promise as to what protection will be afforded if it be applied for.
MR. MAC NEILLWill the right hon. Gentleman allow me to put documents before him which will show the terrible harshness in the case?
§ * MR. JACKSONIf the hon. Gentleman desires to put any information before me, of course I will examine it.
