§ Mr. JOYCEBefore the right hon. Gentleman answers that question may I inquire if he will kindly also state to the House what were the comments of the county court judge on the condition of Limerick county and city?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI have not got those comments before me, but my attention was called to them, and they were of a very satisfactory nature. In answer to the question on the Paper, I have to say that compensation was awarded on the occasion in question in four cases of malicious injury. In one ease the claim was for windows broken by a crowd during the election, and in the others for injuries done by night to a wall, trees, and a bullock respectively. No arrests have been made.
