§ MR. G. BROWNEasked the President of the Local Government Board, If he will state to the House the circumstances connected with the removal of John Touhy, his wife, and seven children, under warrant dated 9th November 1871, from the Kingston on Thames Union to the Newport Union, county Mayo, although a resident in England for thirty-five years; and, whether it is true that, when brought before the magistrates at Kingston previous to his removal, he was not sworn or examined upon oath?
§ MR. STANSFELD, in reply, said, it was the fact that John Touhy, his wife, and seven children had been removed from the Kingston Union to the Newport Union, county of Mayo. Touhy was removed by his own consent, and was examined before the magistrates on oath at the first, but not at the second hearing.
