Mr. COOTEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that the owners of a few motor cars conveying visitors to a Red Cross fete held at Benburb, county Tyrone, on the 17th instant have been threatened with prosecution by the local police; if he is aware that Benburb is seven miles distant from the nearest railway station; that the fête could not have been a success without the assistance of these cars; that one of the cars, whose owner was threatened, was used to convey a party of wounded soldiers from Armagh; and will he see that further irritation is not caused to the people?
§ Mr. SHORTTI am making inquiry into this matter, and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
