HC Deb 09 November 1908 vol 195 cc1663-4
MR. LONSDALE

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that the great majority of the 908 cases of cattle-dirving reported to the end of September last are not included in the Statistical Returns of Outrages, which therefore afford no trustworthy record of the volume of overt crime committed in Ireland, there is any reason why cattle-drives should not be included under the heading of intimidation.

(Answered by Mr. Birrell) I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar Question asked by him on 28th October.
