§ MR. KENNYasked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Upon what grounds the Irish Executive has decided to ignore the dying declaration of Patrick Slattery, in which he stated that he had been used to suborn false testimony against the brothers Delahunty, upon which evidence they were convicted and sentenced to penal servitude for life; and, if, as in the case of Kilmartin, the Lord Lieutenant will consent to an inquiry, for the purpose of sifting the evidence, and guarding against a miscarriage of justice?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALKER), in reply, 663 said, that the Lord Lieutenant had carefully considered the declaration in question. His Excellency had already fully considered the case, and had been advised that there was no ground for any further action in regard to it.
