HC Deb 08 August 1918 vol 109 c1522
Mr. NUGENT

asked the Chief Secretary whether he has made inquiries into the action of a gunner on board a boat sailing down the Liffey, who a few days ago discharged a shell into one of the most thickly populated portions of the city of Dublin, thus endangering many lives; and, if so, what action he intends taking in the matter?

Mr. SHORTT

I understand that this man is under arrest, and I am not at present in a position to make any further statement.

Mr. NUGENT

Will the man be tried before a civil or a military tribunal?

Mr. SHORTT

I am not informed as to that.
