I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the police have received information that a valuable three-year-old cow, the property of MR. Edward Godfrey, of Donemark, the local bailiff on the Kenmare estate, was killed and mutilated while grazing on the lands of Ardnagoshel, belonging to MR. Hutchins, J.P.; and what steps have been taken to discover the perpetrators.

:The police authorities inform me that the facts are as stated in the Question. The police have used all possible efforts to discover the offender, but so far without success.
