HC Deb 26 July 1916 vol 84 c1662
26. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Secretary of State for War by whose order the officer, accompanied by detectives, when searching Miss Maeve Cavanagh's house in Dublin, threatened to shoot her; if without authority, what notice has been taken of his conduct, promptly complained of; why the property taken from the house has not all been restored yet; why, out of the £50 in gold then taken, notes for only £43 have been returned; and when the balance will be returned?

Mr. FORSTER

A report on these allegations has been asked for. In the meantime I must, of course, not be taken as accepting them as correct.

Mr. GINNELL

Will the hon. Gentleman return the goods, and then it does not matter?
