HC Deb 07 May 1885 vol 297 c1846
MR. HEALY

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he can state his decision in the case of the trust money of Eliza Colgan, appropriated by an Irish Crown Solicitor?

MR. HIBBERT

(who replied) said: In accordance with his promise, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer has considered this question, and has reviewed all the facts and circumstances of the case, dating back to 1852. He has come to the conclusion that Mrs. Colgan may properly receive a further sum of £250, in addition to the amount already given, and payment of this sum was made to her on April 30.

MR. HEALY

On behalf of this poor woman I beg to thank the Chancellor of the Exchequer for looking into her case after she has been for 20 years in vain seeking justice from Dublin Castle.
