§ MR. SEXTONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, on Friday last, bailiffs acting under a decree of fi. fa. at the suit of a landlord against one of his tenants near Listowel, County Kerry, blockaded the house in which the tenant's cattle were, and prevented the necessary feeding of the cattle, and whether, on Saturday, they broke into the house, seized the cattle, and removed them; and whether these proceedings were sanctioned and assisted by a force of police?
MR. J. MORLEYI am aware of some of the facts connected with this seizure, but before replying to the question of my hon. Friend I should wish to be in possession of more detailed information dealing with all the circumstances of the case, as well as with some Press allegations, and shall be glad, therefore, if lie will defer the question until Thursday next.
