Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he has received any report of the gallant conduct of the Notts and Derby Regiment during the recent fighting in Dublin?

Mr. TENNANT

No, Sir; but the gallant conduct of all the troops engaged in the recent fighting will, no doubt, be placed on record in Sir J. Maxwell's Report on the operations.

Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War how many women or girls are in custody in connection with the Irish rebellion; and whether any of such girls

are, or appear to be, under the age of sixteen years?

Mr. TENNANT

The War Office have no information on this point.
