§ MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the proceedings of the Sarsfield Branch of the Irish National League, reported in The Limerick Leader of May 26, at which a resolution was adopted stating that the Sarsfield Branch of the Irish National League, having warned by resolution all persons connected with the grabbing of Miss Morrison's farm that if they persisted in retaining possession of the same they would be denounced by name and circulars sent throughout the country branches branding them as land grabbers; and that, such persons having disregarded the warnings, nothing remains but to-publish the names of the grabbers, which are: "Messrs. Wheatley and Joynt, Starr-Bowkett Society, and Mr. Bate-man, butcher, Roche's Street;"and also-to the editorial comment of the same newspaper on the meeting to the effect that if, after repeated protests in a quiet manner, parties refuse to conform to popular opinion, they have only themselves to blame for any consequences that may accrue; and if the Government intend to take any action under 1761 which these intimidatory proceedings may be stopped and their authors punished?
MR. J. MORLEYMy attention has been drawn to the newspaper paragraphs referred to, which are correctly set forth. The local police do not anticipate that these references will have any evil effect on the persons named; but the case will be carefully watched, and any steps which it may be deemed necessary to take in their interest will be promptly taken.
