HC Deb 25 March 1889 vol 334 c710
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN () Monaghan, N.

I wish to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can give the dates respectively upon which District Inspector Seddall left his duties in Ireland, on subpoena from the Times, to attend the Royal Commission Court, and returned thereto; and whether, as he was not examined and was not in daily attendance at Court, he can say if he was engaged in preparing evidence for the Times; and, if so, whether he can give the names of the police officers or other witnesses with whom he was so engaged?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I am informed that District Inspector Seddall continued in London throughout November. He was not engaged in preparing any evidence for the Times, but merely waiting in obedience to the subpoena to be called before the Court.
