HC Deb 03 April 1884 vol 286 cc1490-1
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Why the evidence of Sub-Constable Daly was withheld at the trial of Doherty, in Sligo; and, if it is the intention of the Crown to proceed against those who were identified by Sub-Constable Daly as taking part in the Derry Town Hall disturbances?

MR. TREVELYAN

I am advised that Constable Daly was not examined because he could give no evidence against Doherty. With regard to the second inquiry, the Attorney General does not consider he has sufficient evidence to support a prosecution.
