§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, 1067 Is it intended that the trial of the two Walkers for the murder of a policeman and a soldier during the Belfast riots should take place in Belfast; and, if so, what, if any, instructions have been given as to "stand asides"?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENEEAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University)Yes, Sir; the case of the two Walkers shall be tried at the next Belfast Assizes. Although the case arose out of the Belfast riots, there is no reason to believe that such a case shall not be fairly and impartially tried there. The only instructions as to "stand asides" that ever have been issued are the instructions which I have already communicated to the House. Of course, these instructions will not be departed from in this case.
§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)Arising out of this Question, can the right hon. and learned Gentleman say whether he gave instructions in writing mentioning the very names of the men who were to be asked to stand aside in the recent political trials in Dublin?
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
