HC Deb 22 March 1889 vol 334 c506
MR. BLANE (Armagh, S.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he was aware that a song entitled "Home Rule," which was sung at the "Trocadero" during the first five days of last week, was prohibited on St. Patrick's Eve; and if such prohibition was instigated by the police?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS,) Birmingham, E.

I am informed that a song called "Home Rule" sung at the Trocadero was discontinued by order of the manager. The police had nothing whatever to do with the matter.
