§ Postponed Resolution [17th August] reported.
§ MR. HEALYsaid, that last night he had raised a question as to the riots at Wexford; and the Chief Secretary then said the case was sub judice. That was not so now, for five of the men had been sent to the plank bed; and what he wished to know was, whether the right hon. Gentleman would grant an inquiry into the whole matter, in which men were bludgeoned by the police while waiting for the result of the poll?
§ MR. TREVELYANsaid, that if a number of men who were simply waiting as the hon. Member had said, he should, of course, grant an inquiry; but there had already been an inquiry before the magistrates. He should get a copy of the proceedings, and consult the proper authorities; and if he then thought an inquiry necessary he should grant one.
§ Postponed Resolution agreed to.
