§ Mr. E. KELLYasked the Chief Secretary on what grounds was James McGowan, of Ballyhofey, County Donegal, arrested on the 21st ultimo; is he 44W aware that he and six others were kept for four days in a room in Drumboe Castle without a seat, a table, a bed, or any furniture, or accommodation whatsoever; will any charge be preferred against him; and, if so, when?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODJames McGowan was arrested for internment. He was confined, with other prisoners, in a room similar to that occupied by the troops in Dungloe Castle and provided with similar furniture which is necessarily scanty. An internment order has now been made against him on the ground that he is a person suspected of acting, having acted, and being about to act, in a manner prejudicial to the restoration of order in Ireland.
