HC Deb 27 March 1907 vol 171 c1824
MR. J. F. MASON (Windsor)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on Monday, 18th March, a postman was waylaid by disguised men near Inchigeela, county Cork, and robbed of a number of letters supposed to contain writs for service on the Grehan estate, and whether anyone has been made amenable for this offence.

MR. BIRRELL

I am informed by the police authorities that the fact is as stated in the Question. The police have not yet succeeded in making anyone amenable for the offence.

MR. T. L. CORBETT (Down, N)

Are they being discouraged in their efforts?

MR. BIRRELL

No, they are not.
