§ COLONEL SAUNDERSON (Armagh, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland how many cases of moonlighting there were between 20th August, 1891, and 28th February, 1892, in County Clare, and whether he will give descriptions of each; and how many non-agrarian cases of moonlighting there were for Clare, for Kerry, for Cork, and for Limerick during the periods from 20th August, 1892, to 28th February, 1893, and from 20th August, 1891, and 28th February, 1892?
MR. J. MORLEYThere were nine cases of moonlighting, agrarian and non-agrarian, in County Clare between August 20, 1891, and February 28, 1892, classified as follows: Firing at the person, 1; firing into dwelling, 4; intimidation, 3; robbery of arms, 1—total, 9. The following statement gives the number of non-agrarian cases of moon-ling in Clare, Kerry, Cork, and Limerick, during the periods mentioned: From August 20, 1892, to February 28, 1893, Clare, 10; Kerry, 3; Cork, 6; Limerick, 5. August 20, 1891, to February 28, 1892: Clare, 3; Kerry, 4; Cork, 1; Limerick, Nil. This increase in moonlighting to which I have referred has manifested itself not throughout these counties in their general areas, but rather in particular localities.
§ MR. W. REDMOND (Clare, W.)Can the right hon. Gentleman give the House the number of evictions and seizures for rent in County Clare in the same period.
