§ MAJOR JAMESON (Clare, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will explain under what authority Mr. O'Donnell was arrested in the streets of Kilrush and sentenced by the magistrate to three months imprisonment.
§ MR. ATKINSONThis man was arrested by the police for persistently following an individual, in their presence, in the pig market at Kilrush, and preventing him from selling his pigs by intercepting every dealer who approached, and denouncing the individual referred to as a "grabber." Depositions were made by the police who witnessed the occurrence, and the accused was taken before the resident Magistrate, who ordered him to find sureties for the 20 peace and good behaviour, in default of which he was committed to prison for three months.
