§ MR. EDWARD M'HUGH (Armagh, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state by whose instructions the sergeant and men of the police from Newtownhamilton attended at the evictions held on 18th March 1895, of Richard Caraker and Alice Cunningham, tenants on the estate of Mr. Bond M'Geogh, in the townlands of Sherriff and Tullyrallen, County Armagh; and what was the necessity shown for their attendance?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. JOHN MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-TyneI am informed that no police were requisitioned or instructed to attend either of the evictions referred to. It appears, however, that a police patrol happened to be in the neighbourhood at the time, but its presence there was a mere accident.
