§ MR. CHARLES CRAIGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that out of six claims for malicious injuries heard at the Killarney Quarter Sessions in October last, three of them were for injuries inflicted on animals, that in two of these cases the animals had died from the effect of the injuries inflicted, and that compensation was awarded in each case; and whether the police have made any arrests in connection with them.
MR. BRYCEI am informed by the police authorities that the facts are as stated in the Question. The police have not yet succeeded in obtaining evidence which would justify them in making any arrests.
§ MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)Is it not the fact that these claims have arisen out of personal quarrels,, and that the district is so well conducted that the Recorder invariably receives a pair of white gloves?
