MR. O'KEEFFE (Limerick, City)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as the Prisons Board have reported that one warder has complained of being subjected to annoyance in public while wearing the prison official uniform, if such warder has attributed such annoyance arose from belief that warders were engaged in odious duties as regards Irish political prisoners?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe warder referred to did not make any such allegation as that suggested in the question. His objection was one on general grounds. He mentioned one instance in which a drunken man had insulted him.
