HC Deb 12 June 1882 vol 270 c814
MR. O'KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he can see his way to the release of Mr. Bernhard M'Hugh, who has now been kept in prison, on suspicion, for fifteen months, as the district of Castlerue, county Roscommon, to which he belongs, is orderly and peaceful, and in view of the fact that Mr. M'Hugh's father, a very old man, is dangerously ill, and that Mr. M'Hugh is the only support of a very large family?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, the Lord Lieutenant has had Mr. Bernard M'Hugh's case under reconsideration within the past day or two, and has decided that he cannot at present be released.
