§ MR. MOORETo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that immediately after the Thomastown petty sessions on 5th June, a crowd of 200 men armed with sticks was addressed by the hon. Member for the Birr Division of King's County, who advised them to clear the cattle off all grazing farms in the district, and in 124 particular off two which he named; and if it is the intention of the Government to make the hon. Member amenable for such incitement.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The only report of the speech referred to which I have seen is a newspaper report, which is obviously very imperfect. It is not intended to take any action in respect of the speech.
