HC Deb 12 April 1911 vol 24 c583W
Mr. EDWARD O'KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary if he has any incriminatory evidence against the persons who committed an outrage on a public monument in Baltinglass, county Wicklow, in the early morning of 1st January last, and also on the house of a respectable shopkeeper in the same street on the same occasion; and, if the evidence in the possession of the authorities is sufficient, will he have the offenders brought to justice as soon as possible?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Inspector-General informs me that every effort has been made to obtain evidence in this case which would justify a prosecution, but without avail. The acts apear to have been meaningless, and were probably done as a practical joke.
