CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on Thursday the 14th May last a cattle-drive took place off a farm on the Rosmead estate, Delvin district, Mullingar, County Westmeath; how many arrests were made; and what sentences were passed on the perpetrators of the outrage.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe police do not regard this case as one of cattle-driving. Thirteen head of cattle were found on the road adjoining the farm in question, but there were no broken gates or other 1279 indications of violence, and it was supposed that the cattle had got out through an unfinished fence.
