HC Deb 30 August 1887 vol 320 c472
MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

I wish to ask the Parliamentary Under Secretary for Ireland, If yesterday, at the Portrush. Petty Sessions, the magistrates sentenced eight persons charged with attacking the National Foresters to terms of imprisonment varying from three to six months; whether the magistrates exonerated the Foresters from blame; and whether any witnesses adverse to the Foresters were committed for perjury?

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) () Kent, Isle of Thanet

No, Sir; I am not aware. I have had no information from Portrush on the subject.

MR. SEXTON

expressed the hope that the right hon. and gallant Gentleman would obtain necessary information before the Vote for the Chief Secretary's salary was taken.
