CAPTAIN CRAIG

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a cattle-drive took place off Mr. M'Clintock's farm, Riverstown, County Leitrim, on Sunday, 3rd May last, and off a farm in the neighbourhood of Bohs, Tulsk, on the same day, and off the farm of Mr. John Macnamara, of Gort, at Coxtown, on Monday 4th May, and off the farm of Mr. Flynn, of Caroreagh, near Ballinasloe, County Roscommon, and off the farm of Mr. Dolan, in the same district and on the same date; and what arrests have been made.

MR. BIRRELL

On 27th April cattle were driven off a farm of Colonel M'Clintock at Riverstown. No arrests were made. On 4th May cattle were driven off the farms of Messrs. Flynn and Dolan. Twenty-six persons were arrested, of whom twenty-five have been bound over to keep the peace. No cattle-drive has taken place from Mr. Macnamara's farm, and no case of cattle-driving has occurred in the district of Tulsk for some months past.
