Society OI reruvy, ~Oiu5 -cau AAA v . - ----- --
congratulate Mr. Thomas Barry, P.L.G., a member of
the society, on his release from Cork Prison, where
he had been imprisoned under the Crimes Act, two
sergeants of constabulary named Kelly and Black and
two constables (one of whom refused to give his
name) entered the room, and though called upon by
the officers of the society to leave, refused to do so ;
that Sergeant Black gave as an excuse that he believed
it was intended to hold a meeting of the “ sup
pressed ” branch of the National League, but though
informed such was not the case, the police persisted
in remaining on private premises despite the protests
of the members, and the society thereon resented this
intrusion by passing a condemnatory resolution in the
presence of the constables ; if he could state under
what statute or authority the police committed what
appeared to have been a trespass upon private pre
mises ; and if he would call for an explanation of
their conduct upon this occasion.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND.—I am
informed that the police entered the room in which
the meeting was about to be held under the belief
that the meeting was to be one of the Land League.
Inasmuch as the League had been proclaimed in that
district, a meeting of that body would have been an
unlawful assembly. The sergeant reports it as his
belief that a meeting of the League would have been
held on the occasion were it not for the presence of
the police.
COUNTY CORK UNIONS.
In answer to Mr. M. HEALY,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND said,—
The Land Commissioners inform me that there are 15
unions' wholly within the county of Cork, three
unions partly in that county and partly in other
counties, and three unions wholly within the county
of Waterford, and four partly in Waterford and partly
in other counties. There is, therefore, a total of 18
unions and parts of seven unions in the circuit of the
Cork Sub-Commission. The average number of unions
included in the circuit of a Sub-Commission is 16.
There are about 5,041 fair-rent applications from the
county Cork which were undisposed of by the Land
Commission at the end of February, 1889. The
necessity which exists for the Chairman and Registrar
of the Sub-Commission to travel backwards and
forwards to each of the pair of lay Assistant-Commis
sioners is one which must exist where there are three
pair of lay Assistant-Commissioners presided over by
them, unless the three pair were to work in adjoining
unions, which would cause parties in distant unions
to be dissatisfied. The necessity which exists does
not hamper the Sub-Commission or lessen its capacity
for work, although it does throw additional labour on
the Chairman and Registrar.
THE FALCARRAGH PRISONERS.
In answer to Mr. MURPHY,
Mr. A. J. BALFOUR said,—I am informed that it
