HC Deb 23 February 1881 vol 258 c1607
Mr. T. P. O'CONNOR

I 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. FORSTER

I 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'CONNOR

I 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.
