HC Deb 08 August 1911 vol 29 cc1121-2W
Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGH

asked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been called to the fact that a decree in an action for assault was granted by the county court judge at the June sittings against Sergeant Carroll, of the Royal Irish Constabulary, Maguiresbridge, county Fermanagh, and confirmed on appeal, and is this the second time this officer has been held liable for assault; has another officer of the Maguiresbridge force been held liable also for assault; and will he suggest to the Royal Irish Constabulary authorities that the constant friction between the Royal Irish Constabulary and some of the inhabitants of the district might be terminated if these members of the force were transferred to other stations?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have nothing to add to my reply to the similar question of the hon. Member on 31st July.
