HC Deb 13 November 1884 vol 293 c1584
MR. LEAHY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If the Irish Government have received Resolutions from the Town Commissioners of Naas, Newbridge, and Athy, in the county of Kildare, expressing their firm belief of the innocence of Thomas Behan, convicted and sentenced to penal servitude for arson at Newbridge, in said county, and requesting the case to be further inquired into; and, if any steps will be taken to further investigate his case?

MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMAN

Upon receiving Notice of this Question yesterday, I referred it to Dublin for inquiry. There has not been time for the reply to come to hand.

MR. LEAHY

I will ask the Question again on Monday.
