§ Mr. DEVLINasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether Patrick Meehan, ex-constable of the Royal Irish Constabulary, was forcibly removed from his home in Trim, in the presence of his wife, on the 21st November, about 11.45 p.m., by armed men, who had arrived at the police barracks in the town in a Crossley motor car; whether these men took Meehan about a mile outside the town, brought him into a field where he was closely questioned, bullied, and put on his knees, and threatened to be shot; whether shots were fired over him and he was then let free and ordered to leave the town in 12 hours and the country within a month; who were the parties implicated in this affair, and where they came from; and what steps he will take to prevent a repetition of this conduct by the armed forces of the Crown?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI have called for, but have not yet received a report with reference to this matter. Perhaps the hon. Member will repeat his question one day next week, when I hope to be in a position to furnish him with a reply.
