HC Deb 05 March 1889 vol 333 cc971-2
MR. SEXTON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether Mr. Carew, M.P., was yesterday removed from Kilkenny Prison to Kilmainham Prison; whether his clothes, which had been taken from him by violence on his arrival at Kilkenny, ten days before, were restored to him yesterday, before setting out for Kilmainham; and, whether his clothes will be again taken from him?

* MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Orders were given on Saturday to transfer Mr. Carew to Kilmainham Prison, with a view of facilitating his communicating with his solicitor in connection with the libel action pending against him. I understand that, under the orders of the medical officer of the prison, he is at present wearing his own clothes.

MR. SEXTON

Will his clothes be taken from him again?

* MR. A. J. BALFOUR

That depends on the medical officer.

MR. CONYBEARE

How long does the Chief Secretary propose to continue these brutalities?

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
