§ MR. DALY (Monaghan, S.)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland 53 whether he is aware that a Roman Catholic, named Francis Mooney, died suddenly at Douglas Street, Belfast, owing, it is alleged, to injuries inflicted upon him by Orangemen in Belfast on the occasion of the relief of Ladysmith; and whether he can state what course the Government intend to take to bring the guilty parties to justice in this case.
§ MR. ATKINSONAn inquest was opened in this case on the 20th inst., and stands adjourned to the 26th inst. Pending the finding of the coroner's jury I do not consider it desirable to make any statement as to the circumstances attending the man's death. After the inquest has terminated I shall endeavour to answer any question the hon. Member may put to me on that subject.
