§ MR. M'GOVERN (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland is he aware that the assignment of the Morley estate, in the County Cavan, to Messrs. Saunders and Johnstone, was not executed until the 21st November, 1901, and did not convey the rent or arrears then due on the estate to these gentlemen; is he aware that these gentlemen demanded the rent and arrears which belonged to Lord Morley from the tenants, and threatened to take legal proceedings against them if they did not pay; and will he, if documentary evidence as to the truth of these charges is placed at his disposal, direct proceedings to be taken against these gentlemen and their agents for intimidation and trying to obtain money under false pretences.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.I am not aware of any of the matters mentioned in the first paragraph. If any of the parties aggrieved will go before a magistrate and make an information disclosing a criminal offence, the course usual in all such cases will be followed in this.
