MR. HEALY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether Mr. P. J. Quinn, assistant secretary to the Land League, is confined in Enniskiilen Gaol, after so many other prominent members of the League, arrested at the same time and for the same offence, have been released; and, if the Lord Lieutenant has re-considered his case?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, Mr. Patrick J. Quinn is detained in Inniskillen Gaol. The Lord Lieutenant re-considered his case at the end of last month, and decided that he could not then order his release.

MR. TREVELYAN

said, he would answer a further Question on the subject on Thursday.
