§ MR. SHAW LEFEVRE (Bradford, Central)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is true that Father Stephens, after three months' imprisonment, was entitled to receive a visit from a friend, but felt himself debarred from this privilege because the authorities of the gaol insisted on his seeing the friend in the criminals' wire cage?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe General Prisons Board report that the prisoner mentioned, on recently becoming entitled to a visit, applied to the Board for permission to receive it in a manner different from that prescribed for the visits of other convicted prisoners. He was informed that no departure from the general rule on the subject could be made in the case of any particular prisoner.
