§ MR. SMALLasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that Michael Waters, one of the Crossmaglen prisoners, whilst in Belfast Gaol before his trial, was placed in a cell which, as the water pipes had burst, was flooded; and, whether the said Michael Waters has since died?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, the General Prisons Board inform me that it is not the case that Michael Waters was placed in a cell in Belfast Gaol in which the water pipes had burst, causing it to be flooded. The prisoner died in Mount-joy Prison, Dublin, into which he was received on the 28th April. He was removed to the prison hospital on the 7th June, and died on the 22nd October. The coroner's jury found that he died from disease of the intestines.
