MR. O'BRIENasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is true that Denis Deasy, at present undergoing penal servitude at Chatham Convict Prison, is dangerously ill; and, whether the improbability of his recovery is such as to warrant his discharge from prison?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTSir, this prisoner has been seriously ill, and, by the last Report, he was unfit to be removed. I have ordered a further account to be given to me in the matter, and will consider what is to be done in it.
