§ MR. McKEAN (Monaghan, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to the action of Constable Creaghan, of Shantonagh, who on the evening of the 26th June last followed the Aughnamullen East bald into the private grounds of Mr. Peter M Gough, a former member of the band; will he state what reason or authority Constable Creaghan had for this act of trepass; whether it is the practice of the police to follow the local Orange band to their lodge or into private grounds under similar circumstances; and will he cause an inquiry to be held in this case.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) I am informed that the constable entered the private grounds of Mr. Peter M'Gough at the invitation of the latter.
