HC Deb 17 April 1890 vol 343 c796

On the Motion for the Adjournment of the House:—

MR. SEXTON

I should like to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he has any information as to the circumstances of the funeral of a late Member of this House, Mr. Matthew Harris, whose death is, I am sure, regretted by hon. Members on both sides of the House. I am informed that a body of policemen, armed with batons, and accompanied by a note-taker, broke into the churchyard and remained there during the interment.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin University

I have no information to that effect. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put a question down for tomorrow.

DR. TANNER

Has the right hon. Gentleman any information concerning the action of some drunken policemen who followed and insulted the hon. Member for Spalding (Mr. Halley Stewart) while driving to Cashel?

MR. MADDEN

I have no information.

House adjourned at half after Twelve o'clock.
