§ MR. DELANYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a gun, the property of Mr. Peter Dowling, Straboe, has found its way into the possession of the police at Maryborough, having been taken by a local gamekeeper from a servant of Mr. Dowling's, who was carrying the gun without his employer's knowledge; and whether, in view of the fact that Mr. Dowling holds a licence from the resident magistrate and also an Excise 10s. licence, he will state upon what grounds the police refuse to restore the gun to the owner.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI am still in communication with the police in reference to this gun, and will ask the hon. Member to postpone the Question until Thursday next.
