§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Chief Secretary whether he has information that women decoys are used for the purpose of assassination in Ireland, the actual assassin in a street murder passing the revolver to the female companion of the victim, knowing that she will not be searched, even by a woman official, who is rarely available; and whether, if this is the case, special warnings are issued to the Crown forces?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODIt is well known that after their murderous attacks the assassins frequently pass their firearms to female accomplices for concealment on their persons knowing that the standard of decency scrupulously observed by the Crown forces will prevent these women from being searched except on the rare occasions when a female searcher is immediately available.
