§ MR. T. P. O'CONNORasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If the time has arrived for the release of John Darcey, who has now been incarcerated since June 17th 1881; and, if the Government be not willing to order Mr. Darcey's release, whether they will permit his transfer from Dundalk to Galway Gaol, so that he may be able to communicate with his wife and children, who have suffered severe loss from his imprisonment?
§ MR. TREVELYANHis Excellency has re-considered Mr. John Darcey's case, but finds that he cannot at present order his release. His application to be transferred to Galway Gaol had been considered last December, when it was decided that it could not be acceded to; but the reasons which then applied need not now apply, and the application shall be re-considered.
