HC Deb 27 February 1890 vol 341 c1335
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the remarks made by the Recorder at the last Sessions of the Old Bailey, at the close of the trial of the man Seeley, who was found guilty of perjury in giving evidence against four innocent men, who were convicted on his false statements; whether complaints have reached him that Sergeant Adams, of the L Division, prevented witnesses from entering the Court to speak on behalf of prisoners; if he will cause an inquiry to be made into the matter; and if the four men convicted on Seeley's statement are still in prison; and, if not, have they received any compensation for false imprisonment?

MR. MATTHEWS

The whole of this difficult and intricate case, including the conduct of Sergeant Adams, is now under consideration, and I am not in a position to say what will be done. The name of the man is Feely and not Seeley.
