§ CAPTAIN CRAIG (Down E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a man named Joseph Carolan, of Ballinalack, county Westmeath, is at present most seriously boycotted, and local shopkeepers are intimidated to such an extent that they refuse to supply him with goods; and what steps, if any, he proposes to take.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Inspector-General informs me that the local police have no reason to believe that Joseph Carolan is boycotted, or that local shopkeepers have refused to supply him with goods.
