HC Deb 09 March 1900 vol 80 c494
MR. JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he can give the House any information as to the murder of a man named Hugh Thompson, near Enniskillen, this morning.

MR. ATKINSON

Yes; I regret to say that a man named Hugh Thompson, who left Enniskillen about eleven o'clock this morning, was found murdered half an hour afterwards.

CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)

Is it not the fact that the unfortunate man had given evidence in favour of an evicted tenant?

MR. ATKINSON

I believe the man was about to give evidence or had given evidence in a case of malicious injury.
