§ 30. Mr. GINNELLasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department 185 whether his attention has been called to the address of Judge Brown to the grand jury at the recent Quarter Sessions, at Manorhamilton, in which he said there was no necessity for the military coming into that district, and congratulated the jury on the peaceful state of the district; and, in view of that, whether the evidence, if any, on which the military dragged young men from their houses there and had them deported will be scrutinised as an example of the evidence on which numerous deportations have been carried out and the victims released and compensated?
Mr. SAMUELI understand that the address referred to contained no allusion to the military coming into the district although it did state that the county remained peaceful. The evidence referred to in the second part of the question is a matter for the Advisory Committee.
