HC Deb 08 May 1903 vol 122 cc202-3
MR. HUGH LAW (Donegal, W.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been drawn to the evidence of Sergeant Patrick Kilgannon, Royal Irish Constabulary, Gweedore, in the civil action of Patrick Gallagher versus Pauling and Co., tried at last Lifford Assizes, County Donegal; and whether, seeing that this sergeant volunteered evidence on behalf of the defendants in the case which arose outside his district, instructions will be given to his superior officers that he is not in future to interfere in cases outside his district.

(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) My attention has not been specially drawn to the evidence in this case. The sergeant attended upon a subpoena issued at the instance of the defendants, and the matter in dispute arose within his district.
