HC Deb 19 June 1907 vol 176 c476
MR. CHARLES CRAIG

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether on Saturday, 8th instant, the farm of, John Kennedy, at Carrowcreerenagh, the farm of James Sammons, at Clooney Castle, and the farm of Pat Coomer, at Marble Hill, all near Loughrea, were raided by a crowd of men and the cattle driven off; whether this was done in the presence of the police; and whether any of the persons engaged in the proceedings have been arrested or been prosecuted.

MR. BIRRELL

A prosecution has been directed in this case, and I must therefore decline to enter into the details of the offence.

MR. CHARLES CRAIG

But two cases are mentioned in the Question?

MR. BIRRELL

The prosecution applies to both.
