§ Colonel M'CALMONTasked the Chief Secretary whether his attention had been called to the fact that a crowd of Nationalists congregate nightly at the corner of Mill Road, Whitehouse, county Antrim, and keep up rowdyism till a late hour to the detriment of good order in the neighbourhood and the annoyance of the peaceable inhabitants; and will he give the necessary instructions to the constabulary to disperse such gatherings in the future?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe hon. Member appears to have been misinformed. The Inspector-General informs me that it is not a fact that a crowd of Nationalists congregate nightly at the place referred to. A few boys occasionally stand there, but they are ordered by the police to move on. Six youths have been summoned during the past twelve months for causing an obstruction at the corner. The attention of the police has been directed to the matter with a view to prevent further cause of complaint.
