HC Deb 07 April 1881 vol 260 c872
MR. WARTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he has now ascertained that the language used by the honourable Member for Tipperary at Thurles has been correctly reported in the "Freeman's Journal" and in the "Nation" newspapers of the 2nd of April, and was correctly quoted in the question put to him last week; and, whether he will now state what action, if any, Her Majesty's Government intend to take thereon?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

Sir, after the answer I gave the hon. Baronet the Member for Horsham (Sir Henry Fletcher) on this subject, I did not think it would be necessary to ask a further Question in reference to it. I have no doubt that the portion of the speech quoted by the hon. Member was accurately taken from The Freeman's Journal; but its accuracy is not confirmed by the official report I have received.
