§ Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Amendment proposed to Question [23rd October,] "That, &c."—[See page. 69.]
§
And which Amendment was,
To insert in the ninth paragraph, after the word "us," the words "and humbly to assure Her Majesty that it is the opinion of a vast number of the Irish people that the present method of administering the Law in Ireland, more especially under the Crimes Act, has worked manifold injustice, and, in the case of the prisoners tried for the Maamtrasma murder, has led to the execution of an innocent man and to the conviction of four other persons equally innocent, and this House humbly assures Her Majesty that it would ensure much greater confidence in the administration of the Law in Ireland if a full and public inquiry were granted into the execution of Myles Joyce and the continued incarceration of Patrick Joyce, Thomas Joyce, Martin Joyce, and John Casey."—(Mr. Harrington.)
§ Question again proposed, "That those words be there inserted."
§ Debate resumed.
