§ Mr. JAMES O'KELLYasked the Chief Secretary whether he has received a resolution of the Strokestown guardians and council protesting against the police tax occasioned by the employment of extra police in connection with the Ballybeg farm dispute, caused by the action of Government officials in transferring to this farm the present occupants from an adjoining county, in view of the fact that the late owner in disposing of it expressly requested that it should be divided among his congested adjoining tenants?
§ Mr. REDMOND BARRYMy right hon. Friend has received the resolution referred 1364 to. There is no foundation for the statement that the late owner of Ballybeg farm, in disposing of it, expressly requested that it should be divided among his congested adjoining tenants,
