HC Deb 01 July 1920 vol 131 c622
23. Colonel NEWMAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the stationmaster at Mallow, county Cork, who was kidnapped some days ago, has been set at liberty; and can he say what reasons were assigned for his abduction?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The stationmaster at Mallow who was kidnapped on the 27th June returned home at 4 a.m. yesterday. He can assign no reason for his abduction. He is not aware who the parties were, where they came from, or where they went to.

Colonel NEWMAN

Does that only mean that he is afraid to give names?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

That may be very likely.
