HC Deb 17 March 1910 vol 15 c504
Mr. LONSDALE

asked when it was intended to bring to trial the persons charged with boycotting conspiracy against Mr. Charles N. Clarke, of Thurles; and what was the reason for the delay in this case?

Mr. BIRRELL

It is intended to bring the accused to trial during the next legal term, opening in Dublin on April 15th. While the cases are pending a discussion of the further matter raised by the hon. Member would not be desirable.

Mr. LONSDALE

How long has Mr. Clarke been boycotted and under police protection.?

Mr. BIRRELL

The hon. Member knows as well as I do that he has been boycotted and under police protection for a long time, but I cannot give the exact date.
