HC Deb 21 June 1888 vol 327 c828
MR. JORDAN (Clare, W.)

wished to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland a Question, of which he had given him private Notice. Had the right hon. Gentleman's attention been directed to reports in some of the morning papers of a discussion which occurred at the Ennis Quarter Sessions yesterday, when Mr. Kelly, the County Court Judge of Clare, advised and instructed Colonel Turner, Resident Magistrate, as to the course he should pursue with reference to political meetings; and he would ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he considered the course taken by Mr. Kelly—

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order! The hon. Gentleman will give Notice of the Question.

MR. JORDAN

I gave the right hon. Gentleman private Notice to-day.

MR. SPEAKER

That is not sufficient for a Question of that kind. It depends upon the length of the Notice.

MR. JORDAN

said, he had given the earliest possible Notice that day.

MR. SPEAKER

Order!
