§ MR. LONSDALETo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will give full particulars of the outrage committed at the residence of Mr. Francis E. Mullane, at Templemore, County Tipperary, on the night of Sunday, 25th October, and state the result of the police inquiries into the occurrence.
946 (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) On the evening in question an explosion took place on a window-sill of Mr. O'Mullane's house, breaking the window and driving several pieces of metal, apparently portions of an axle-box, into the room. An arrest has been made and proceedings are pending. It is, therefore, undesirable in the interests of justice to give any further particulars.
