HC Deb 07 April 1884 vol 286 cc1781-2
MR. HEALY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he will inquire if Mr. Justice Murphy would have any objection to allow his notes at the trial of Doherty, in the Derry case, to be laid upon the Table; and, if so, will the Government print them as a Return, as supplementary to the report of Messrs. White and Bewley?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, I have to say that any question which could be supplied was in the report of the criminal trial before me. I understand that there is no precedent for asking a Judge to supply for publication his notes or any report of a criminal trial heard before him, and that it would not be right to ask Mr. Justice Murphy to do so in this case.
