§ Mr. DONALDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that the following outrages were committed in Ireland, and will he say how many arrests were made in each case: in March at Mohill, county Leitrim, a farmer named Hand was murdered by a masked man, who entered his house and shot him with a gun; in March in Cork city two constables were shot at by someone unknown, 213W one of them being seriously wounded; in March, at the house of Mr. Milling, resident magistrate, Westport, was shot, and since died; in April an outrage at Limerick by a Sinn Fein prisoner located at the workhouse infirmary, although guarded by five police, a party of armed men broke into the ward, shots were fired, one policeman shot dead, and one policeman and a warder seriously wounded; in April in county Cork a sergeant and three constables were fired at from behind a hedge, three of them being seriously wounded; in April in county Donegal a military fort with a sentry in charge was raided for arms; in April two military sentries at Kynoch's factory, Arklow, were set upon By a number of armed men, who took their rifles and bayonets, gagged and tied the soldiers, and left them lying on the ground; and in May, while removing a prisoner named John Hogan by train from Thurles, the train was held up at Knocklong station by a gang of armed men, who took possession of the prisoner, shot a constable dead, and seriously wounded a sergeant?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI very much regret to state that the facts are as stated in the question. In the case of the murder near Mohill, County Leitrim, one man has been arrested and returned for trial to next Assizes; and in the case of the murder of a police constable in Limerick Workhouse, eleven persons were arrested but were afterwards discharged, the evidnce not being sufficient to justify further detention.
