CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether it is intended to apply to the King's Bench for orders to change the venue of trials for unlawful assembly at present pending in connection with attempts to prevent the letting of grazing lands in the West of Ireland to places where there would be some prospect of a fair trial; and whether it is intended to do so in the case in county Leitritu where persons of the name of Brady are boycotted, and in the pending cases from the Athenry district in county Galway.
§ THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. CHERRY,) Liverpool, ExchangeI have no intention at present of applying for a change of venue in the cases referred to in the Question; nor have I any reason to believe that the accused persons will not receive a fair trial in the counties in which they will, in ordinary course, be tried at the coming summer assizes.
§ MR. MOOREIs it not the fact that two juries consecutively have disagreed in the case of raiders in Connaught?
§ [No Answer was returned.]
