I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on 15th September, forty men raided Mr. Percival's ranch in county Longford and drove on sixty-four head of cattle; whether any arrests have been made; and whether he will state how many policemen were on the scene at the time.
