§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, on the 13th July, a man named Samuel Ewarts, accompanied by his wife and four children, were driving home from Scarva when, coming to Lisnagade School, a number of persons stopped the car and used abusive language to the occupants; whether, in view of the fact that Ewarts was struck on the head several times and that one of his children was struck, he can say why District Inspector Bell, who witnessed the assault, 1219 made no arrests; and, as the offenders are known to the Crown, will he order a prosecution.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI am making further inquiry in this matter, and shall be glad for a postponement of the Question until Thursday next.
