HC Deb 15 December 1902 vol 116 cc1220-1
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state how many prosecutions under the Criminal Law and Procedure(Ireland) Act, 1887, have taken place in the parishes where 184 officers of branches of the United Irish League are in occupation of evicted farms and eleven months grazing lands; and what has been the result of these prosecutions.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND(Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

I have already stated that, so far as I could discover, no such proceedings have been instituted against the officials mentioned. The Papers before me do not contain the further information now desired, and I do not think its importance could be commensurate with the trouble involved in procuring it.

MR. TULLY

Will the right hon. Gentleman give a Return setting forth their names and addresses?

MR. WYNDHAM

No, Sir.
