HC Deb 23 July 1889 vol 338 cc1098-9
MR. JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state the names of the prisoners at present confined, under the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act, in Derry Gaol; and specify the religious denomination of each, respectively?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

In consequence of the observations which were made by Mr. Speaker yesterday, the hon. Gentleman must be content if I simply give a general answer that all the prisoners to whom he refers are registered as Roman Catholics.

MR. JOHNSTON

Is the hon. Member for the Camborne Division (Mr. Conybeare) one of them?

[No answer was returned to the question.]
