§ MR. T. L. CORBETTI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to an attack made upon an Orange band when passing through Edenderry, Portadown, on 3rd March, in which a number of bandsmen were very roughly handled; whether the names of those committing this attack were taken by the police; and, if so, whether a prosecution will follow.
MR. BRYCEI am informed by the police authorities that there was no semblance of interference with the band which passed through Edenderry on the 3rd March. Edenderry is stated to be an exclusively Orange locality. The hon. Member has evidently been misinformed.
