§ 108. Mr. GINNELLasked whether the officer in command of the military and police who raided and looted Kent's house, Bawnard Castlelyons, on 2nd May last have furnished him with a list of the valuable articles taken by them, including gold and silver prize medals won at athletic sports by the late Richard Kent, and also his gold watch and chain; whether he is aware of the restitution of the latter article through a solicitor by a Catholic police constable, the other articles having been taken by the military and not yet returned; whether he will have them returned forthwith; and, if not, what steps he will take to have them traced?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe following articles were taken from the Kents' house by a search party consisting of military and police: one silver watch with gold chain, to which were attached a gold ring and a religious medal; three silver Gaelic medals. 1608 All these articles were handed over to the police by the officer in charge of the military and restored by them to Mr. Sheehan, Mr. William Kent's representative. I have no information as to the religious denomination of the police officer who handed over these articles.
Mr. GIN NELLIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the articles mentioned in the question were handed over not in the manner he describes, but stealthily?
