Through you, I beg to inform the members of Dáil Eireann that Henry Coyle, Teachta Dála for North Mayo, has been arrested under a warrant issued by me on the 15th March instant, to Superintendent Peter Ennis, of Detective Division, D.M.P., on the information of Inspector Patrick O'Connell, of the said Division, and of one Patrick James O'Malley, that the said Henry Coyle did, on the 18th October, 1923, at 8 and 9, Upper Ormond Quay, Dublin, by a false pretence and with intent to defraud, fraudulently induce said Patrick O'Malley to endorse a valuable security, to wit, a bank cheque for £450.
I beg to state also that the said Henry Coyle, on Saturday, 22nd March, instant, appeared before me on that charge, that he has been remanded by me until Thursday next, 27th instant, and that he has been given the option of bail in two sureties of £500 each, but no sureties are yet forthcoming.
