Captain COOPERasked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been called to a case heard at Claremorris quarter sessions, when Mr. M. J. Dillon was awarded compensation of £32 for the malicious burning of his haggard; and whether anyone has been arrested in connection with the offence?
§ Mr. BIRRELLNo arrests have been made in this case. An appeal has been lodged by the Claremorris District Council against the award, and the matter is therefore sub judice.
