§ Mr. BIRRELLI have nothing to add to my rely to a question on the same subject asked by the hon. Member on the 19th May, 1909.
§ Mr. LONSDALEasked the Chief Secretary whether, having regard to the violation of the law committed by large organnised assemblages of people on the occasion of the recent cattle-drives on the Pollock estate, county Gahvay, he will now consider the propriety of abandoning the procedure which has been followed by the Executive during the past three years for dealing with this form of crime; and whether he will adopt other methods, within the ordinary law, which experience has proved to the police to be effective for coping successfully with such acts of lawlessness?
§ Mr. BIRRELLIt is not possible at this stage to make any statement as to the proceedings which may be considered necessary in this case.
