§ Mr. BIRRELLThere were three cattle-drives in the East Riding of county Cork during the period mentioned in the question—one in the Kinsale police district and two in the Fermoy district. Forty sheep were driven in one case, twenty-one cattle in another, and twelve cattle in the third case. Compensation to the amount of £48 was claimed in the first case, and £100 in the second case. These claims are still pending. No claim was made in the third case.
