§ Mr. MOOREasked if the right hon. Gentleman is aware that the members of the Portadown corps of the Salvation Army, while passing through the Nationalist district of Ballyvarley, near Ban-bridge, on the night of Wednesday, 22nd September, were, without any provocation, stoned from behind a hedge; and if he will state what steps the police have taken in the matter?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI understand that on the occasion referred to some members of the Salvation Army when driving through Ballyvarley were stoned from behind a hedge on the roadside. As it was dark at the time they could not give a description of their assailants to the police, who have made every effort to trace the offenders, but without success.
§ Mr. MOOREIs it a correct description, as given in my question, that this is a Nationalist district?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI think the answer indicates that is so.
