§ 69. Mr. ACLANDasked the Chief Secretary whether the burning of part of the town of Westport, in County Mayo, was an official reprisal for an ambush at a place seven miles distant; if not, whether any steps have been taken to bring to trial those who were responsible for the burning; and whether compensation will be paid by the Government for the damage done?
§ Mr. HENRYI am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply given by me to a similar question on this subject by the right hon. Member on the 14th instant.
§ Mr. ACLANDI will repeat the question next Thursday.
