DISTURBANCES (IRELAND) BILL.

Summary

Publication of the debates around the Disturbances (Ireland) Bill by the House of Commons. Lord Althorp, who submitted the bill, argued for its necessity by refering to cases of disturbances that happened in Ireland in 1832: "The next case was the murder of a man named Shee, at Cashel, on the 26th of August. This person was in a room of a public-house, with two other men, when two men entered the room with their faces blackened, and one of them dressed in woman's clothes: they ordered Shee to go on his knees, and instantly shot him dead." (citation to be found on p. 2, col. B of the record)
