HC Deb 28 March 1882 vol 268 cc147-8
MR. HEALY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is true that Mr. Michael Fitzgerald, of Cappoquin, County Waterford, has been released from prison, while Mr. Begley, of the same place, who was arrested at the same time, and on suspicion of the same offence, is still in custody; and, if he will state why Mr. Begley has not been released?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

, in reply, said, that it was true that these persons were arrested at the same time and on the same warrant; but it did not follow that there were the same grounds for arrest. It was under consideration whether Mr. Begley could be released, as Mr. Fitzgerald had been; but upon that point he could not as yet give any answer.
