HC Deb 23 March 1882 vol 267 c1658
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Attorney General for Ireland, Whether the time has arrived when Mr. William Kennedy may be released from prison, seeing that he has been there more than a year on a charge of being suspected of having committed an offence which the prisoner undertakes to prove could not possibly have been committed by him?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)

Sir, on the 8th of this month Mr. Kennedy applied to be released, on the ground that he was about to quit this country, and His Excellency ordered his release accordingly.
