HC Deb 31 July 1916 vol 84 c2103W
Mr. F. MEEHAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will grant a sworn inquiry into the action of the Sherwood Foresters in destroying property to the value of £15 in St. Clare's Hall, Manorhamilton, on the night of the 13th May last while in sole possession of the hall, as several independent persons are prepared to prove on oath that the damage was wilfully done by the soldiers?

Mr. FORSTER

No, Sir, it is not considered that any useful purpose would be served by taking the action suggested.
