§ MR. DOOGAN (Tyrone, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether it has come to his knowledge that a party of Orangemen stoned Mr. Harkin's Hotel, Coalisland, on the 3rd instant, causing considerable damage to the building and terror and danger to the inmates, as, though the district is proclaimed, pistol shots were fired concurrently with the stone-throwing; can he state how many of those rioters can be identified by the police and local persons; and whether steps have yet been taken to prosecute them.
§ MR. WALTER LONGSeveral slates and panes of glass were broken in Mr. Harkin's public-house by the followers of an Orange band. On the same evening shots were fired outside the town by members of both Parties. The disturbance was of short duration. The offenders ran away on the approach of the police, who could neither identify, nor obtain evidence against, them. No prosecution, therefore, has been instituted.
