MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has received memorials from the inhabitants of Carrickmacross, County Monaghan, with reference to certain lands known as "Gallows Hills," situate in the immediate vicinity of that town, in which they claim that this land is common, and has been used as a public park by the people from time immemorial, and complain that certain persons have recently appropriated certain portions of it and erected buildings thereon; and whether he intends to take any, and what, steps in this matter?
§ MR. MADDEN (who replied)No memorials have been received by the Irish Government from the inhabitants of Carrickmacross regarding the land referred to; but a communication has been received on the subject from an individual resident. If any private or public right has been invaded by the action complained of, the parties aggrieved have a legal remedy.
