§ Mr. NEWMANasked the Chief Secretary how many persons are under police protection in the county of Kerry including those protected by patrols; and if he is aware that Lord Justice Cherry stated in his address to the grand jury of the county of Kerry at the summer assizes that there were eleven people under police protection, when he should have stated that there were eleven families (not people) under police protection, not including those families and persons protected by patrols?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Inspector-General informs me that there are in county Kerry eleven persons under constant police protection, and fourteen persons protected by patrols. Lord Justice Cherry, in his address to the grand jury, evidently referred to the eleven persons under constant protection. The families of persons under protection are not included in the returns unless the individual members require a separate protecting force, in which case each individual so protected would appear in the returns.
