MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Do the Government intend to discharge the recognizances of the traversers in the late State trials, upon whom they have served notice of discontinuance of the prosecution, or will they enter a nolle prosequi; and, how will the £100 seized by the police from the hon. Member for East Mayo (Mr. Dillon), at Loughrea, be disposed of?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University),

in reply, said, notice had been given to the traversers that it was not intended to proceed further with this case; a nolle prosequi would be entered, and any property taken for the purpose of evidence would be restored to the persons from whom it was taken.
