§ Mr. T. P. O'CONNORI wish to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland a Question which was on the Paper yesterday with respect to a number of men who were sentenced at Thurles on the 22nd of January and sent to Nenagh Gaol. I wish to know, Whether it is true that they wore refused bail, and have been kept without food from early on Monday morning until the following morning?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERI do not think the Question was on the Paper yesterday; but, in any case, I will ask the hon. Member to postpone it until tomorrow, as it will require time to obtain the information.
§ MR. T. P. O'CONNORI wish to explain that the hon. Member who gave Notice of the Question sent me a letter which inclosed the Notice Paper of yesterday, and I understood from the letter that the Question was on the Notice Paper.
