§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state why the district inspector of police was not present in Dromore on the occasion of the riot at the land meeting; why were extra police not summoned from Banbridge, Lurgan, and the adjoining towns; who was it paid for the drink given free in more thatn one public-house on that day; and whether he can state the nature of the protection that will be afforded at further meetings in the North of Ireland in connection with the question of compulsory sale.
§ MR. WYNDHAMAn inquiry has been institued. Pending its result I cannot discuss the circumstances. The nature of protection in the future will depend on the exigencies of each case. It will invariably be ample.
