CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the United Irish League organised a demonstration against Mr. Sam Russell of Kilmore, county Roscommon, on Sunday, 5th May last; can he state how many persons took part in the illegal intimidation, how many constabulary were present to preserve order belonging to the local force and to the depot respectively; can he state the expense incurred, and whether any of the participators have been brought to justice; was anyone injured; and has Mr. Russell been forced to give up the farm in question.
§ MR. CHERRYMy right hon. friend answered a Question on this subject yesterday. A prosecution is pending against eight persons in connection with the matter, and it would therefore be undesirable to enter into details.
