§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on Sunday March 4th threatening notices, couched in violent language, and bearing drawings of coffins and rifles, were found posted up opposite the Roman Catholic church at Athenry; and, seeing that these notices contained threats against Michael Fynn, a small farmer, who recently resumed the holding of a grazing farm at Rockmore, will he say what steps are being taken to afford this man protection from violence.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The local police are aware that a rumour to the effect stated in the Question has been current at Athenry, but they have reason to believe that no such notice as is mentioned was found.
