§ MR. T. L. CORBETTI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on February 7th the Donagh Nationalist Flute Band went to Middleton, County Armagh, returning at midnight, accompanied, by a crowd, many of whom were 1427 intoxicated, and insisted, against the request of the police, in going through the village of Glasslough, and breaking the windows of Protestants, and also fired several shots at the house of a Protestant, and badly wounded the sergeant of police; and whether he will say what steps he intends taking to protect the lives and property of the peaceful inhabistants of Glasslough in the future.
MR. BRYCEThe incident in question is the subject of proceedings which are pending at petty sessions, and it would be undesirable and contrary to practice to make any statement in the matter while the proceedings are sub judice.
