Mr. O'CONNORasked the Chief Secretary whether some special constables went into some of the streets in West Belfast at one o'clock on Thursday night last, woke up the residents, who were all Nationalists, threatened and terrified them, and at the point of the revolver made them take down flags which they had put up on the occasion of the elections; and what steps the Government intend to take to punish this lack of discipline on the part of the special constables?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI am informed that there is no truth whatever in this allegation.
