HC Deb 16 April 1875 vol 223 c1112
COLONEL LOYD LINDSAY

asked the hon. Member for Stoke-upon-Trent, To name a day for proceeding with the Notice of Motion which stands in his name, but for which no day has been fixed, "to call attention to the Government prosecution of 'the Queen v. Castro' and to the conduct of the trial at bar?"

DR. KENEALY

Sir, after the language addressed to me last night by the hon. and gallant Member, I will not deign to answer any Question put to me by him.

MR. MACDONALD

Then, Sir, I beg to give Notice that on Monday next I will repeat the Question of the hon. and gallant Gentleman. ["Go on!" "Do it now!"] Then, Sir, if I am in Order, I will put the Question now.

MR. SPEAKER

said, the hon. Member would be in Order in putting his Question.

MR. MACDONALD

As the Forms of the House allow me, Sir, I will ask him now to name a day for proceeding with the Notice to call attention to the Government prosecution of the Queen v. Castro, and to the conduct of the trial at bar.

DR. KENEALY

Sir, I shall bring on the Motion at the time when it seems to me most likely to advance the liberation of Sir Roger Tichborne, and not before.

COLONEL LOYD-LINDSAY

Sir, I beg to give Notice that, as the hon. Member for Stoke has declined to name a day, I shall on Monday move that his Notice be expunged from the Notice Book.
