asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can make any statement as to the engagement reported to have taken place at Clady, County Tyrone; whether any of the forces of the Crown were engaged: and, if so, with what result?

I regret that I am not yet in possession of information regarding this matter. I have asked the Government of Northern Ireland to be so good as to supply me with a report, and if the Noble Lord will put his question down again to-morrow I hope to be in a position to answer it.
