§ MR. REDMONDasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether twenty-eight persons who were sent to Carrick on Shannon Gaol for one week were left without Divine Service on Sunday 7th August in said gaol; and, if so, what arrangements have been made to prevent the occurrence of similar events for the future?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, that what was stated in the Question was fact; but the prison was one of the minor prisons in which commitments were only made for seven days, and it had no chaplain attached to it, the conducting of service being left to the local clergymen, none of whom applied on the occasion in question.
