§ MR. P. O'BRIEN (Monaghan, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether a man, named Philip Quigley, was committed 933 to Dundalk Gaol on the 20th of May last, and is still confined there; by whom, and upon what charge, and for what term was he so committed?
THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN)(who replied) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)said, that Philip Quigley was committed to Dundalk Prison on the 23rd of May last. He was committed by the County Court Judge of Monaghan for contempt of Court.
§ MR. P. O'BRIENasked, if the right hon. and gallant Gentleman could state what the contempt of Court was?
§ COLONEL KING-HARMANsaid, that was not in the Question; but he believed that it was for refusing to sign a document which he was ordered to sign by the Judge.
