§ SIR T. LEA (Londonderry, S.)In the absence of the hon. Member for South Tyrone, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the police have made any Report of riotous proceedings on the 14th and 17th July at Lisnagoon, near Cootehill, in the County of Cavan; and if he can state whether any arrests were made or summonses issued in connection with the affray?
MR. J. MORLEYOn the 3rd instant, in reply to a question addressed to me by the hon. and learned Member for North Fermanagh, I referred to the facts connected with the disturbances at Lisuagoon on the 17th July, which were promptly reported upon by the police, and further stated that the names of the ringleaders on this occasion had been taken, and that the question of a prosecution was under consideration. Directions to this end are now about to be issued to the police. With regard to the alleged riotous proceedings of the 14th July, I am informed that all that occurred on that date was that the workmen were cheered by about 25 persons and that the affair was insignificant.
