HC Deb 13 March 1890 vol 342 cc702-3
MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland is it true that a letter written from Cork Gaol by Mr. John Slattery, as President of the South of Ireland Pig Buyers' Association, in favour of the proposed Cork, Fermoy, and Wexford Railway, was stopped by the Governor, and its publication disallowed whether Mr. Slattery, being a bail prisoner, is entitled to publish such letters; and whether Mr. Davitt, Mr. Healy, and other bail prisoners in Richmond Gaol in 1883 were permitted to publish letters on topics far more controversial?

* MR. MADDEN

I must ask the hon. and learned Gentleman to postpone the question until to-morrow.
