HC Deb 17 February 1887 vol 310 c1762
MR. ILLINGWORTH (Bradford, W.)

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, If he can inform the House how many jurors have been directed to "stand by" by the Crown, and have been challenged by by the traversers, in the trial "Queen v. Dillon and others" now proceeding in Dublin?

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

The hon. Member will see from the newspapers what has been done in this case. Twenty-eight jurors were ordered to "stand by," six were peremptorily challenged, and several others were challenged "for cause," which was disallowed by triers under the direction of the Judge.
