HC Deb 07 June 1888 vol 326 cc1391-2
MR. TUITE (Westmeath, N.)

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Whether the Government have yet taken any steps to discover the person who forged the name of Finlay M'Cance, J.P., Belfast, by means of which a policy of assurance was obtained on his life from the Equitable Assurance Company in favour of Mr. James A. Henderson, proprietor of The Belfast News Letter.

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University)

, in reply, said, the strictest investigation was being made into the facts of the case by the Attorney General, who had assumed charge of the prosecution on the part of the Crown, in order that all the persons concerned in the frauds might be made amenable. It would be obviously calculated to defeat the ends of justice if details were now gone into.
