HC Deb 15 May 1884 vol 288 c443
MR. O'BRIEN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is true that Mr. P. N. Fitzgerald, now detained in prison at Sligo, is deprived of money which was taken from him at the time of his arrest; and, if so, whether directions will be given to the police to restore to him his money?

MR. TREVELYAN

When Fitzgerald was arrested £1 3s. in coin and halves of two £5 notes were found with him. The coin has been returned, and he has been told that if he will say where the other halves of the notes are, or if he will write for them, the sum of £10 shall on their arrival be given to him.

MR. O'BRIEN

May I ask the Solicitor General for Ireland what is the charge preferred against Mr. Fitzgerald? If he cannot answer now— ["Order!"]

MR. SPEAKER

This is an entirely different Question, and Notice should be put on the Paper.

Subsequently,

MR. O'BRIEN

Perhaps the Solicitor General for Ireland could now state what is the charge against Mr. Fitzgerald at Tubbercurry?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALKER)

I am quite unable to answer the Question without Notice.
