MR. JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether three officers of the Salvation Army were, on Monday last, the 22nd instant, fined, without the option of appeal, by the Warwick Bench of Magistrates, for holding a religious service in the Corn Market there on Sunday the 7th instant?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

Three members of the Salvation Army were convicted by the Warwick Magistrates for obstructing the highway by holding services in the Corn Market, notwithstanding warning and caution by the police. The men have a right of appeal by law. I cannot give off-hand the names of the magistrates.
