Mr. HENRY

The police state that they received no complaint of this alleged assault, but that on seeing in the Press allegations corresponding to those in the hon. Member's question they called at Dunn's house to make inquiries. They found both brothers at home, one of them, Peter Dunn, having hurriedly taken to his bed without removing his clothing. Neither man according to the police report showed any signs of maltreatment.
