§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received particulars of the attack made upon the police at Holycross, County Tipperary, on Monday; how many policemen were injured; and how many persons were arrested.
§ MR. BIRRELLA district inspector and two constables were seriously injured on this occasion. The county inspector and some other constables were also struck with stones. Nineteen persons have been arrested and remanded. As proceedings are pending it is not desirable to make any further statement.
§ MR. CULLINAN (Tipperary, S.)Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the sole cause of this trouble is the fact that while the landlord agreed to sell land from which some seventy-two tenants had been evicted, the Estate Commissioners refused to take action?
§ MR. BIRRELLI cannot go into that, but I cannot help thinking this landlord is a very much injured man.
