HC Deb 13 March 1888 vol 323 c1083
MR. MURPHY (Dublin, St. Patrick's)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What were the names of the two persons whose fines of £10 each for offences against the Margarine Act were reduced to £2 each by the Lord Lieutenant on Memorial; what was the date on which the original fines were imposed by the police magistrate; and, if any other Memorials have been received by the Lord Lieutenant praying to reduce fines under the same Act?

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)

(who replied) said, he had received such short Notice of the Question that he must ask the hon. Member to give him a little more time.

MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

It was down yesterday. It is practically a repetition of the Question of yesterday.

COLONEL KING-HARMAN

Oh, no; there are three different points in it which were not in yesterday's Question at all.
