§ MR. ANDERSON (Elgin and Nairn)I wish to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland the following Question, of which I have given him private Notice. By what person, or persons, was the Governor of Tullamore Gaol directed to deprive the late Mr. Mandeville of his clothing in the middle of a night in November last; and whether this step was taken with the knowledge of the Government?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.), in reply, 333 said, he believed this question of Prison Rules and prison discipline was one that was being brought before the Coroner at the inquest which was now sitting; and until that inquiry was concluded it would be better that he should make no statement with reference to the matter.
