§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the report of a special meeting of the Killoran branch of the United Irish League, signed by two secretaries of the branch, containing a recommendation by a. county councillor that the members should ignore British law altogether and stand loyally by the laws of the United Irish League; and whether he intends to take any action in this matter.
§ MR. BIRRELLMy attention has now been called to a newspaper report to the effect mentioned in the Question. Mr. Cawley, the person who is said to have made the recommendation referred to, is not a county councillor. No action 1402 appears to be called for. I have no reason to suppose that the supremacy of the law will be endangered by Mr. Cawley's remarks, assuming that he made any.
