Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he was aware that on the night of 1st September a water bailiff, named John Driscoll, was waylaid on the public road as he was returning home from Cahirciveen Fair with his wife land son, and so brutally knocked down and kicked by three or four people that he died that night; whether three young men 1733 have been arrested in connection with this occurrence; and could he say what reason was assigned for the attack?
§ Mr. CHERRYFour men have been arrested in connection with this occurrence, and the case is now sub judice. It is not, therefore, desirable to make any statement on the subject.
