§ MR. T. D. SULLIVANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What alterations have been made in the treatment of Mr. Edward Harrington, at present imprisoned in Tralee Gaol; whether he is still compelled to wear the prison clothes, and to do the work usually allotted to criminal prisoners; whether he is allowed to read any newspaper, or whether any one of the employés in his office is allowed to visit him, to consult with him about his business; if not, how long will he be kept in gaol before being allowed to receive any visits; and, whether it is true that he is confined in a small cell twenty-two hours out of the twenty-four?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, the prisoner has been relieved from the plank bed, and is allowed to communicate by letter with his friends and receive their letters according to rule. He has the use of books sent by his friends, and has four hours' exercise daily. He wears prison clothes and does the work usually allotted to prisoners who are not sentenced to hard labour. He is not allowed newspapers or visitors, and will be three months in prison before he can be allowed to receive visits. It is not the case that he is confined in his cell 22 hours out of the 24.
