HC Deb 06 July 1900 vol 85 cc791-2
*SIR J. COLOMB

On behalf of the hon. Member for the Torquay Division of Devonshire, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to a speech made by Lord Emly at Limerick on the 29th ult., which, if correctly reported, would constitute an incitement to commit a broach of the peace; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

My attention has been directed to a newspaper report of the speech in question, which, as reported, is of the character mentioned. The meeting at which the speech was delivered was, however, held indoors, and there is no evidence forthcoming of the. language used on the occasion.
