§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIEN (Tipperary, Mid)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the action of Constable Heaphy at Thurles on the 14th of January last, who, without orders from the officer in charge, left his place in the police cordon and endeavoured to smash a drum which was stationary a few yards in front of him; and will he state what steps he proposes to take in the matter.
*MR. WYNDHAMI have caused inquiry to be made into this matter, and am assured that the constable named did not act in the manner alleged.
