§ Mr. C. CRAIGasked how many constables are or have recently been engaged in protecting the cattle of Mr. Edward Barry, M.P., on the Castlefreke ranch; and what has been the charge on the public funds in respect of police protection afforded to Mr. Barry's bullocks?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI understand that the grazing on Lord Carbery's demesne, at Castlefreke, is let on the eleven months system to the hon. Member for South Cork, and eight other persons. To prevent the cattle in the demesne being driven three additional constables have been sent as a temporary measure to the neighbouring police station. This does not entail any additional charge to the public, as the men belong to the ordinary county force.
