Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to an award of £15 for malicious injury to property, given at Bin-Quarter Sessions on 5th April in favour of Martin Delaney; whether the perpetrators of this offence have been arrested; and what steps have been taken to prevent the further molestation of Delaney in the lawful enjoyment of his property?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThree hundred yards of fencing on the farm of Martin Delaney were destroyed eleven months ago. The police have not been able to make any arrests in connection with the case, but they are affording all necessary protection to Delaney.
