HC Deb 23 March 1887 vol 312 c1279
MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, If he is aware whether the Coroner's Warrants, which had been issued yesterday for the arrest of Inspector Somerville and Sub-constable Garrett Ward for the wilful murder of Hanlon during the recent disturbances at Youghal have been executed?

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

My knowledge is confined to what I have seen in the newspapers. ["Oh, oh!"] Yes; it is not usual that these things should be communicated to the Attorney General. My right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary will get a report on the subject in duo course.

MR. SEXTON

Can any Member of the Irish Government assure us that the warrants will be executed?

MR. HOLMES

Yes. I assure the hon. Member that the warrants will be executed.

Motion agreed to.

House adjourned at five minutes before Six o'clock.
