HC Deb 26 October 1882 vol 274 c173
COLONEL NOLAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If, now that a conviction has been obtained for the murder of sub-constable Kavanagh, he will recommend that the fine of £1,500, leviable on the Barony of Ballynahinch, be remitted, either by special action on the part of the Government or by the Government paying the £1,500 to the Barony constable, and thus providing for the family of the murdered man?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, the sum referred to in the Question of the hon. and gallant Member was a presentment made under the provisions of the Grand Jury Act, and the Government, therefore, cannot interfere with it.
