HC Deb 18 June 1883 vol 280 c792
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is true, as stated by the Press Association and the Dublin correspondent of the "Daily News," that Mr. Jury's body was only exhumed in consequence of the publication in the newspapers of the alleged poisoning by the Invincibles; also the dates on which Mr. Jury's body was exhumed and the medical inquiry ordered?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, it is not the case that the body was exhumed only, or at all, on account of newspaper reports. I explained the reason why it was exhumed a few days ago. The exhumation took place on the 29th of May. On the previous day Dr. Cameron had been asked to make the analysis.
