HC Deb 11 March 1880 vol 251 cc799-800
MR. SULLIVAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If, having regard to the evidence and conduct of the police and the Crown witnesses on the trial of Michael Kelly, Luke Brown, and Simon Brown at the last Mullingar Assizes, and the acquittal of the prisoners, it is his intention to direct a prosecution for perjury against certain of the Crown witnesses referred to?

MR. J. LOWTHER

in reply, said, he could not reply to the Question as he should like, because he had not the complete documents before him. If the hon. and learned Gentleman would kindly postpone the Question, he might be able to give him an answer on the following day. He would also ask that the Question of the hon. and learned Gentleman which followed next on the Paper should also be postponed.

MR. SULLIVAN

begged to postpone his Question at the request of the right hon. Gentleman.
