HC Deb 08 July 1903 vol 125 cc26-7
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Judge Carton received white gloves at the recent Ennis Quarter Sessions; and whether, in view of the peaceable state of the County Clare, the proclamation of certain districts under the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act will now be withdrawn.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

It is somewhat irregular to make a statement in anticipation of a more official announcement. But since the hon. Member postponed his Question at my request, perhaps I may say that action is contemplated in the direction which he favours.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

That is a very satisfactory announcement.
