MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that certain issues of the United Irishman, published at Ormond Quay, Dublin, were seized and confiscated by the Dublin metropolitan police and also by the constabulary; whether he can explain to the House the reasons for such seizure and confiscation; and whether he would state upon whose orders those seizures were made.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURThis question only appeared on the Paper this morning, and as all the official documents on the subject are in Dublin, I will ask the hon. Member to defer the question until Thursday.
