HC Deb 31 July 1896 vol 43 c1256
MR. R. T. O'NEILL (Antrim, Mid)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state the number of prosecutions brought by the police for drunkenness and bad conduct in the village of Carnlough, county Antrim, since the police at Glenarm have been supplied with bicycles to patrol the district?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The system of cycle patrolling at Carnlough, which is less than three miles from Glenarm, was only established on the 10th instant, and is in addition to the ordinary system of foot patrols. No prosecutions have been instituted by the police since that date, as the Petty Sessions are only held on the first Monday in each month, but a case of assault will be brought before the magistrates at the Petty Sessions to be held on Monday next.
