§ *MR. HEMPHILLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that the three senior officers of the Royal Irish Constabulary stationed at Newtownstewart—namely, the head constable, the senior sergeant, and one acting sergeant are Protestants, although Newtownstewart is a place where party disturbances are liable to occur; and whether he will take steps that one of the senior officers at least should be a Roman Catholic.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe head constable and one of the two sergeants are Protestants; the other sergeant is a Roman Catholic. There has been no disturbance of a part nature at Newtownstewart for several years past.
