§ MR. SLOANTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on the 23rd July last a number of publicans in Armagh hung out flags from their premises; and whether, in view of the fact that the police warned them of the illegality, he will state what action, if any, he intends taking in the matter.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The warning was given in error, the police authorities having misunderstood the effect of the instructions issued by Government. The flags displayed were not of a Party character, and in the 716 circumstances it is not proposed to take further action.
