§ MR. JOHNSTONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the case "Penn v. Alexander," raised before the Queen's Bench Division on the 4th February on appeal from the Northampton Quarter Sessions, in which it was decided that persons travelling to obtain beer were not bonâ fide travellers withi the meaning of 37 and 38 Vic. c. 49; and whether this law is applicable to Ireland; and, if so, whether he will give instructions to the Royal Irish Constabulary to exercise a vigilant super vision over publicans who have houses outside Belfast and Dublin, and who supply liquor to so-called bonâ fide travellers?
MR. J. MORLEYThe same law is applicable to Ireland, and the Constabulary have been directed to carry out this provision of the Act.
