HC Deb 04 April 1882 vol 268 cc667-8
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that John Hoolihan, of Lacka, Ballyduff, county Kerry, has been imprisoned, on suspicion, since the 16th April 1881; that he emphatically denies having taken any part in the act to which he is accused of having been a party; that two other men from the same district have been discharged, though arrested long after Hoolihan; and, whether, under such circumstances, it is his intention to prolong this man's imprisonment beyond a year?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. PORTER)

, in reply, said, that the case of this man had been recently considered by the Lord Lieutenant, who now saw his way to order his discharge.
