HC Deb 05 June 1874 vol 219 cc1062-3
MR. CONOLLY

said, he wished to ask the hon. Member for Limerick, Whether, in pursuance of his Notice, he intends to move that a New Writ be issued for the Borough of Galway in the room of Mr. Francis Hugh O'Donnell, whose election has been determined to be void?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Dr. BALL)

asked the hon. Member for Limerick to postpone his Motion on the subject until the evidence taken before the Judge at the trial of the Election Petition, which had been laid upon the Table in manuscript, was printed, and hon. Members had had an opportunity of seeing it. No doubt, there was a strong expression of opinion in the Judgment; but, without the evidence, it would be impossible to consider whether any grounds existed for issuing or withholding the "Writ.

MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

said, that after the statement of the right hon. and learned Gentleman, he would willingly postpone his Motion on this subject; but trusted that the right hon. and learned Gentleman would do his best to get the evidence printed, and placed in the hands of hon. Members at the earliest possible moment.
