§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the £5 odd claimed by the Inspector-General of Police for an extra police force in County Longford, in connection with a Crimes Act prosecution there in the month of October, 1902, has been abandoned; and, if not, will he now direct that it be struck out.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe county council objected to make this payment under a misapprehension of the requirements of the law, which were explained to the council on the 4th inst. The claim will not be abandoned.
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLThen is it intended to exact the £5 from the county council?
§ MR. WYNDHAMYes, Sir.
