§ MR. SEXTONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, considering that the name of the honourable Member for the town of Wexford is on the back of the Land Law (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill, which stands for Second Reading on the 14th instant, the Government intend to prolong his imprisonment beyond that date?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, the fact that the name of the hon. Gentleman the Member for Wexford is on the back of a Bill which stands for second reading on Wednesday does not appear to the Government to afford sufficient cause for shortening the term of imprisonment to which he has been sentenced in default 1899 of bail. I may point out that it is open to the hon. Member to give bail at any moment he wishes to attend this House.
