§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a donkey, the property of John Ahearn, of Caherlane, Abbeyfeale, county Limerick, was mutilated on the 23rd June by having its tail completely cut off; has he any report on this matter: and can he say whether any arrests have been made by the police.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) The fact, I regret to say, is as stated. No arrest has yet been made by the police, but they are doing their utmost to bring the perpetrator to justice.
