HC Deb 03 May 1888 vol 325 c1246
MR. CONYBEARE (Cornwall, Camborne)

wished to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland a Question of which he had given him private Notice—namely, Whether it was a fact, as stated in that day's papers, that Mr. Roche, of Woodford, now imprisoned under the Coercion Act, was seriously ill, suffering from acute lung disease; and, whether he could state that proper means were being, or would be, taken to prevent this gentleman being tortured to death?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

said, he had not seen the report referred to.
