§ Mr. GUINEYasked the Attorney-General for Ireland if he is aware that a writ for non-payment of rent was issued at the suit of Lieutenant M'Carthy O'Leary against a tenant of his named Cornelius O'Sullivan, of Dromenangle, Newmarket, county Cork, on the 24th day of August, 1906; that the landlord and his agent, Sir Vincent Nash, of Limerick, deny having given orders for the issue of the writ; and whether, under the circumstances, he proposes to take any action for the protection of tenants from such unauthorised use of legal process?
§ Mr. REDMOND BARRYI have no knowledge whether or not the writ referred to by the hon. Member was issued without the plaintiff's authority or that of his agent. If so, the court in which the writ was issued has ample power to deal with the matter, and no action is called for on my part.
