HC Deb 18 June 1903 vol 123 cc1316-7
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that Mathew C. Kenny, of Quilty, County Clare, on the 31st March, in this year, discharged repeatedly a rifle on the public roads, and whether the attention of the police will be called to this matter.

MR. WYNDHAM

MR. Kenny discharged one shot on the public road on the date mentioned. He did this in order to release a cartridge which he could not otherwise extract. The attention of the police has already been drawn to the matter.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Will the right hon. Gentleman inquire of the police whether the statements in my Question are not perfectly accurate? Where did he get his information that only one shot was fired?

MR. WYNDHAM

was understood to reply that there was no need to make further inquiry.
