HC Deb 23 February 1903 vol 118 cc506-7
MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, a short time ago, a Noconformist church in Thurles, County Tipperary, was broKen into, the harmonium smashed, bibles torn up, and the whole church saturated with paraffin oil and set on fire; and if he will state how many arrests were made.

MR. WYNDHAM

No arrests have yet been made in connection with this dastardly occurrence—none the less regrettable because it is most uncommon in Ireland.
