§ MR. LEWIS (Anglesey)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- 1536 ment, Whether it is decided yet where the 31 persons concerned in the tithe riots at Llangwm, against whom a true bill was found at the last Ruth in Assizes, are to be tried; and, whether, should they be brought to London, or some other distant town, their and their witnesses expenses will be paid by the Treasury?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)The place of trial of the persons concerned in the tithe riots has not yet been decided upon; the trial will take place at Ruthin, unless the Court shall otherwise order. There is no intention whatever of moving the trial to London, or any other distant town. The question of the particular individuals to be put upon their trial requires careful consideration, and the examination of the statements of numerous witnesses.
