HC Deb 24 May 1882 vol 269 c1533
MR. BIGGAR (for Mr. HEALY)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, How many trials there have been for treason and treason felony in the last ten years in Ireland; how many convictions, disagreements, and acquittals; and, if he will give the same information for the last twelve months as to the other classes of crime which it is proposed to make triable by judges under the new Coercion Act?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, Returns have been called for from all the Crown Solicitors in Ireland, and yesterday nine of these Returns were wanting. Today, however, only one was wanting. If the hon. Member will repeat the Question to-morrow, I expect to be able to give him the information he asks for; and, in case that Return has not come in, I will tell him so then.
