Mr. MOOREM

asked the Chief Secretary if he is aware that on 29th October last an armed party of men visited the houses of several holders of grazing farms on the Newhall estate, and warned them, in breach of their legal rights, to give up the land; whether Mrs. Daly, mother of the man recently shot, was one of the graziers so visited and warned; and what action, if any, the Government propose to take or have taken in the matter?

Mr. BIRRELL

Mrs. Daly and three other persons, who held grazing on the Newhall estate, were visited by an armed party in October last, and warned as stated in the question. The members of the party were not identified. The police are taking every possible precaution to protect the persons visited.
