HC Deb 23 January 1891 vol 349 c900
MR. HOWELL

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether he will lay upon the Table, as an unopposed Return, a Report of the trial and the Recorder's decision in the case of the appeal of Peter Curran and others against the Magistrate's decision at Plymouth, on the charge of intimidating a coal merchant, with the view of inducing him not to employ non-Union workmen?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER, Isle of Wight)

Subject to the approval of the Secretary to the Treasury, but so far as the Recorder's Judgment is concerned, I see no reason why, if any general desire is expressed, it should not be printed for the information of Members of the House. I am not aware whether an accurate report of the trial can be obtained, but having regard to the terms of the Judgment, which states all the facts, in all probability a copy of the Judgment would be sufficient for the hon. Member's purpose. I shall be pleased to show him a copy, corrected by the Recorder himself, should ho desire to see it.
