HC Deb 24 March 1882 vol 267 c1812
MR. SEXTON

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether he is aware that John Ryan, of Ballykeating, county Galway, now, and for some time past, imprisoned in Dundalk Gaol as a suspect, is the tenant of a farm, which, since his arrest, has been left in the care of his mother and sister only, he having no male relative to attend to it; and, whether he will release John Ryan for ten days or a fortnight, on parole, to enable him to buy seed for his farm, and enable him to have the agricultural operations proper to this season carried out upon his holding?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)

Sir, I have made inquiries into this case, but have not had a reply. I must ask the hon. Member to postpone the Question until a future day.
