HC Deb 13 July 1882 vol 272 c274
MR. O'KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he can see his way to order the discharge from custody of Mr. Patrick E. Leonard, of Kiltoom, county Roscommon, who was arrested on 21st November, and charged with being "suspected of inciting to intimidate not to pay rent?" The hon. Member said he desired to ask further, whether the right hon. Gentleman did not think that eight months' imprisonment was quite sufficient punishment for being suspected of inciting to intimidate not to pay rent?

MR. TREVELYAN

His Excellency is about to reconsider the case of Mr. Patrick Leonard. I will let the hon. Member know the result.
