§ MR. REDMONDasked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether Mr. Egar, Governor of Limerick Prison, has recently detained several letters written by Mr. Abraham, who is suffering imprisonment under the 34th of Edward III., without informing him of the fact; and, whether he will make a regulation providing that when prisoners' letters are detained they shall be informed of the reasons, and allowed to score out the objectionable parts?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)No, Sir; no letters written by Mr. Abraham—who has been committed in default of giving security for good behaviour—have been detained by the Governor of Limerick Prison.
§ MR. REDMONDMr. Abraham has informed me that they have been detained.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)I have, I think, better information. I have it direct from the Governor of the gaol himself.
