§ MR. W. J. CORBETasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is the fact that a youth named John Lynch, recently returned from America, was lodged in Naas Gaol on the 16th instant to undergo a sentence of six months' imprisonment passed during his absence from the Country for an alleged offence committed more than a year ago; and, whether he will inquire into the facts with a view to Lynch's discharge?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, the "youth" referred to is 21 years of age and 6 feet high. In a district where there was at 1850 the time a good deal of Boycotting and intimidation, he was summoned for intimidating a man, whose door he forcibly broke open. He absconded after service of the summons, and was convicted in his absence. Whether he went to America or not the police do not know. He has recently returned to Baltinglass, and has been committed to prison to undergo his sentence.
