§ MR. O'KELLY (Mayo, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state the number of police ordinarily stationed in Belmullet, county Mayo, and if this number has been recently exceeded; and, if so, will he state the reason.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) The fixed strength of the police in the district of Belmullet is forty-six. The present number is fifty. The increase has been necessitated by the outrages and boy- 816 cotting which have recently taken place in the district.
