§ MR. CHARLES CRAIG (Antrim, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the house of John Harte, of Moorpark, near Athenry, was fired into on 21st December last; and will he say if the police captured the persons implicated, and what was the motive for the crime.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The fact is as stated. The police have made every effort to discover the offender, but so far without success. It is difficult to assign motives where perpetrators are unknown, and I must decline to express any opinion upon that point.
