MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, On what grounds John McMorrow is still retained in prison, he having been arrested over twelve months ago?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

, in reply, said, that the individual in question had been arrested on the ground that he had been a principal in a riot and in an unlawful assembly. He had made inquiry as to whether his liberation could be effected without danger; and if the hon. Member would repeat his Question in a few days, he would inform him of the result of the inquiry.
