§ MR. SLOANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to the fact that a number of Roman Catholics who were attending a Roman Catholic concert in Banbridge on the 6th instant entered a number of private gardens, pulled up the flowers, threw them on the public road, and otherwise destroyed private property; and, if so, will he say whether any arrests have been made, and what action if any, does he intend taking in the matter.
§ MR. WYNDHAMIt is true that some flowers were plucked from the gardens of three houses on the date mentioned. No other injury to private property was committed. There la no evidence, whatever, to show that the damage was caused by Roman Catholics. No arrests have been made.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThere was nothing to show by whom it were done.
§ MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that one of the plucked flowers is being worn in the House at this moment?
