§ MR. GINNELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, when Irish landlords, as part of the negotiation for the sale of their estates, by suing for hanging gales, suing in the superior instead of the local courts, and by other oppressive use of legal methods, get decrees for money before it is normally due, or decrees for more than one year's rent within a year, can he see his way to limiting equitably the extent to which the forces of the Crown will be given for executing such decrees.
§ MR. BIRRELLI can add nothing to the reply which my predecessor gave to the hon. Member's similar Question on 28th March last, namely, that it is not competent to the Executive Government to refuse the assistance of the forces of the Crown for the protection of the sheriff when engaged in the execution of the King's writ.
