§ MR. O'SHEE (Waterford, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on Sunday, the 19th ult., the sergeant, Royal Irish Constabulary, at Tallow, county Waterford, requisitioned extra police from other stations; if so, will he state on what authority this was done, and why; whether anything in the nature of a public meeting was announced for or took place in Tallow or its neighbourhood on the occasion; and whether the county council of Waterford will be called upon to pay any part of the expense caused on the date mentioned by the action of this policeman.
§ MR. WYNDHAMFour additional police arrived in Tallow on the date mentioned. They were ordered by the county inspector. No meeting was announced to be held and none was held. The men were drafted in from other stations in the county; the reply to the last query is consequently in the negative.
