§ MR. MACARTNEY (Antrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a resolution passed by the Killorglin branch of the Irish United League, proposed by Mr. Thomas M'Donagh Mahoney, J.P., calling upon Mrs. Mary Shea to give up a farm at Keelnabrack, Glenbeigh; whether he is aware that a bullock belonging to Mrs. Shea was injured subsequently to the League meeting, and has died since; whether any protection is being afforded to Mrs. Shea; and whether it is proposed to take any action with regard to Mr. T. M'Donagh Mahoney, J.P.
§ MR. WYNDHAMAn indoor meeting of the League was held at Killorglin on the 30th ultimo. The police were not present at the meeting, and the resolution alleged to have been passed at the meeting has not been published. On the following day a bullock, the property of John Shea, died, but whether the act was or was not malicious I am not yet in a position to say. Every necessary protection is being afforded to Mrs. Shea.
§ MR. FLAVINIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is absolutely no truth in the statement?
†See Debates [Fourth Series], Vol. xcv., page 918.
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
§ MR. FLAVINHas the right hon. Gentleman any information that such a resolution was passed?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have replied fully on that point.
§ MR. FLAVINIf policemen were standing outside the door, why is there no evidence that the resolution was passed?
