§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the Return of the number of agrarian outrages in Ireland for the quarter ending 31st March last, showing that out of a total of 65, 37 are described as threatening notices; and if he can say whether the police make inquiry as to whether these alleged threatening letters should be described as genuine threats or the reverse.
§ MR. WYNDHAMYes, Sir; no case is finally recorded in these Returns until after the fullest possible investigation.
§ MR. FLYNNIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in many of these cases the threatening letters are sent by the individuals themselves for obvious reasons?
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
