HC Deb 29 July 1898 vol 63 cc437-8
MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether Sergeant Sullivan, of Mulranny, against whom true bills were found at the last assizes in Castle-bar, is still retained on duty in the Mulranny district, where the witnesses against him reside?

MR. ATKINSON

At my right honourable Friend's request I will answer this question. Sergeant Sullivan was relieved from duty on the 20th instant, and granted leave of absence pending result of trial at assizes.

MR. DAVITT

Is the right honourable Gentleman aware that in the meantime the man is at the Constabulary Barracks?

MR. ATKINSON

I cannot answer further Questions without notice.

MR. DILLON

I will put a Question on the subject to-morrow.
