HC Deb 27 February 1889 vol 333 c548
Mr. CLANCY (Dublin County, N.)

I wish to ask a Question on another subject. As an action for alleged slander has been brought by a Resident Magistrate against Mr. Carew, who is now in prison at Kilkenny, and as an application has been made to the Prisons Board for his removal to Dublin Prison to enable him to consult his legal adviser, which application has been refused, I wish to ask whether the Government will give directions to the Prisons Board to comply with that reasonable request, so as to prevent the public from concluding that it is intended to load the dice against Mr. Carew in the Civil Courts?

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

I will inquire into the matter at once, and see how it stands.

House adjourned at a quarter before Six o'clock.
