HC Deb 24 November 1902 vol 115 cc248-9
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the disturbances at Dromore, County Down, on the occasion of a meeting to express the views of the farmers on the land question; what complaints, if any, have been received as to the action of the police on the occasion; and what steps will be taken to prevent further disturbances in Dromore.

MR. WYNDHAM

Yes, Sir. The hon. Member for South Tyrone has complained that his meeting was interrupted, and that a stone struck him after the meeting. The police escorted the hon. Member. An inquiry has been ordered into all the circumstances and ample protection will in future be afforded to the hon. Member.

MR. TULLY

Has no landlord or landlord's son been arrested because Mr. Russell's head was cracked?
