HC Deb 26 March 1908 vol 186 cc1585-6
CAPTAIN CRAIG

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any arrests have been made in connection with the outrage committed on a herd named Patrick Collins, Ballingar, Woodford, Comity Galway, on 8th February last, when he and his family were attacked in their house by armed men and his wife shot in the face; and is Collins employed by a Mr. Lewis, who has been severely boycotted lately by the United Irish League, which is making a fierce effort to terrify his employees into leaving him.

MR. CHERRY

No arrests have been made in this case. Four shots were fired at the house. Two of them struck the outside wall, but the others broke the glass in a window, and some of the pellets struck Mrs. Collins in the face and neck. I am glad to say that she was not seriously injured. Collins is in the employment of Mr. Lewis, who is boycotted.
