HC Deb 22 June 1893 vol 13 cc1671-2
CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received information if any, and, if any, how many, Nationalist political meetings were held in the towns of Ruan and Ennis, in the County of Clare, during the week ending 16th June; and whether the police were instructed to or did attend those meetings?

MR. THEOBALD

I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman if at any of these meetings, political or otherwise, resolutions have been passed denouncing gentlemen who in Ireland are politely called "land-grabbers?"

MR. J. MORLEY

No meetings, political or otherwise, were held within the period mentioned in cither Ennis or Ruan.

MR. W. REDMOND

May I ask whether, during the same period, there have been any political meetings in Colchester?

* CAPTAIN NAYLOR-LEYLAND

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any meeting of any kind was held at any time in the town of Ruan at which a man named Lynch was denounced?

MR. J. MORLEY

My information is that no meetings were held at either of the two places named, and within the period named, either political or otherwise.
