§ MR. O'DOHERTY (Donegal, N.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury the nature of the seizures of illicit plant, materials, etc., as set out in Return dated 31st March, 1903, in the districts of Buncrana and Moville, in the county of Donegal; how many of the seizures therein set out in the respective years consisted of stills, still-heads, how many of worms, how many merely of staves of barrels alleged to have contained illicit wash or spirits, and the amount of rewards paid to the constabulary officers of each district in each year.
46 (Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) At my hon. friend's request I will reply to this Question. Seizures are not classified in any existing official Return, and to segregate them in the manner suggested would involve an examination of all reports of seizures in Donegal during the past three years. No useful public purpose would be served by such a scrutiny, and I am unable, therefore, to ask the Inspector-General to undertake it. The information desired at the conclusion of the Question has been called for, and will be communicated to the hon. Member.
