§ MR. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether he can see his way to increase the strength of the military force in the Victoria and other barracks in Belfast, in view of the excited state of the population in that town, and the inability of the constabulary to cope with any sudden outburst of popular feeling.
§ * MR. WILLIAM JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)Is not the excitement caused by the relief of Mafeking, and shared by the population in all parts of the United Kingdom?
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe necessity for such an increase is a question for the civil and military authorities on the spot.
