HC Deb 03 May 1869 vol 196 c13
MR. DAWSON

said, with reference to a Question of which he had given notice respecting the alleged speech of the Mayor of Cork, that, in consequence of a request made to him by the Attorney General for Ireland—the propriety and justice of which he fully acknowledged—he should postpone his Question until the following day. At the same time he wished to give the right hon. and learned Gentleman notice that he should also ask him a Question as to the attitude of the people of Cork, described in that day's telegraphic news, by which it appeared they had met in honour of the Mayor; and, whether the Government have received any authentic information upon that point?
