Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Raid by Gárdaí on Cashel Residence.
On the 7th ultimo a box of butter consigned from Cashel to Naas was tampered with between Cashel and Gooldscross railway stations and some 5lbs. of butter stolen. All persons who had access to the butter were questioned. A sergeant and a Gárda visited the house of Michael Cahill, a porter who had handled the butter, and interviewed Mrs. Cahill, and as they had no search warrant, asked permission to search the house. She consented to the search being carried out and was present throughout. The butter was not found in the house.
