§ COLONEL WARINGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a resolution, passed at the Rosslea Branch of the Irish National League, condemning Robert Gillespie for "land grabbing," and calling on people of all classes and creeds in the district to mark their disapproval of his conduct; whether he intends to take any, and what, action in the matter; whether adequate protection will be afforded to Gillespie by the constabulary?
MR. J. MORLEYIt is a fact that a resolution of the nature indicated in the question was published in the Press, but the police inform me that no meeting was held to pass such a resolution. The person named has not, I understand, been interfered with beyond being shouted at on a couple of occasions when passing the house in which the evicted tenant lives. The police are watching the case and will afford every necessary protection to Gillespie.
