HC Deb 17 April 1890 vol 343 c670
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Monaghan, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any complaints have reached the Lord Chancellor of the conduct of Mr. Hugh Graham, J.P., of Rahoney, Dromore, County Tyrone, accusing him of drunkenness, and threatening to assault a passenger in a railway carriage, on the 27th of March, 1889; of being under the influence of drink while giving evidence in a Laud Court, on 23rd January, 1889, when Mr. Justice Litton had him removed from Court by a policeman; and of being on another occasion drunk at the Omagh Railway Station, and annoying ladies, when a policeman who was asked to arrest him refused on the grounds that he was on railway premises; and whether the Lord Chancellor has inquired into these allegations, and with what result?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I am informed that the case of this gentleman is still under the consideration of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
