Mr. MAC VEAGHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state on whose recommendation the advice of the local magistrates has been rejected in the matter of the proposed re-establishment of the police barracks at Scarva, County Down; and whether he can state the; character of the extra steps to be taken for the preservation of the peace in that locality.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe views of the Magistrates were carefully considered; but the police authorities, who are responsible for the preservation of the peace of the locality, do not consider it necessary to re-establish this station.1have already stated that there are three other barracks within a radius of three miles, and that ample protection will be given to all persons needing it.
