§ MR. BARRIEOn behalf of the hon. Member for Mid. Armagh, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has yet received official information showing that MR. Luttrell was compelled to yield possession of his farm at Roscomroe in consequence of the intimidation of the United Irish League and the inadequate protection afforded him by the executive.
§ MR. BIRRELLI informed the hon. Member on 29th May that a force of twenty-five police was encamped on MR. Luttrell's farm for the purpose of pre-venting interference with his cattle, which had been driven off on two occasions. MR. Luttrell has not yet surrendered the farm, but has expressed his intention of surrendering it on the next gale day. In view of this fact the 1244 police have now been withdrawn. If MR. Luttrell should carry out his ex pressed intention of surrendering his farm it will not be for want of adequate protection. The police authorities inform me that there is no evidence that MR. Luttrell was intimidated by the United Irish League.
