§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has any information as to the condition of the two fishermen, Michael Cronin and M'Inerney, who were shot by the Limerick Fisheries Conservators' bailiffs on the 8th instant; whether the revolvers have yet been taken from the bailiffs, or is it proposed to do so; whether he is aware that these fishermen, who have to live by their calling, were duly licensed to fish, and were engaged on their own waters when the chief bailiff's steam launch ran into their nets and destroyed them, and when they resisted they were fired upon; and whether he will cause the inquiry repeatedly asked for by the fishermen into the composition and 1125 management of the Fisheries Board to be held at once?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.This question is the subject of legal proceedings, and I do not think I can add anything to what I said yesterday; but I shall make inquiry.
