§ 57. Major MACKENZIE WOODasked the Secretary of State for War why Colonel-Commandant R. O'H. Livesay, C. M. G., D. S. O., recently relinquished command of the Kerry brigade, and how he is now employed?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Sir R. Sanders)Colonel Livesay was relieved of his command on military grounds, which I do not think desirable to make public. He is now unemployed and on half pay, but will again be employed should a suitable opportunity offer.
§ Major M. WOODIs it not a fact that he was relieved of his command because he disapproved of the Government methods of governing Ireland?
§ Sir R. SANDERSI cannot add anything to the answer which I have given.
