Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that on the night of the 1st June a number of cattle were driven off a farm at Boxford, near Roscommon; whether this farm is at present in the hands of a Receiver appointed by the County Court judge and let out for grazing; and whether any arrests have been made?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI am informed that this was not a cattle drive. This farm is in the hands of a Receiver appointed by the County Court judge, who has let the grazing, and the owner, apparently under a misapprehension as to the legal position, removed the grazier's cattle, which were put back the next day. There was no disturbance, nor anything calling for the interference of the police.
