HC Deb 27 February 1879 vol 243 c1837
MAJOR O'GORMAN

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, whether his attention has been attracted to the fact that the defendants in the case of the Cork and Macroom Railway accident, that is to say, the directors of that Railway, did about the 25th November last upply to the Court of Queen's Bench for an order to bring up the Inquisition (which had resulted in a verdict amounting to manslaughter against the defendants) to be quashed; whether a conditional order had on that occasion been granted; whether that order has since been made absolute; and, whether he had taken steps to show cause against this conditional order being made absolute; and, if not, whether it is his intention to interfere so as, in the interest of the public, to prevent the verdict of the jury being quashed?

[No Answer was returned to the Question.]
