§ Mr. HAZLETONasked the Chief Secretary whether a reward of £12 has been given from the Constabulary Force Fund to Head Constable Donovan, Sligo, on the alleged ground of his courage, coolness, and determination in ordering the police under his charge to fire on the crowd at Riverstown, as the result of which young Stenson was shot dead?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe constabulary authorities have awarded to the head constable a first-class favourable record, with a reward of £12, for courage, coolness, and determination on the occasion in question. I have already expressed my opinion that the police, who were in charge of the head constable, acted with great discretion, and were completely under control.
