§ DR. TANNERI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether bail prisoners con-fined in first-class prisons in Ireland are entitled to be provided with a room, instead of a cell, on their making application; and if it is true that first-class misdemeanants are so provided, and permitted to receive visits from their friends in a room, and not in the visiting room termed "the cage?"
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe General Prisons Board report that bail prisoners are entitled to all the privileges of untried prisoners. The hon. Member will find the information he seeks contained in the Return of Irish Prison Rules and Regulations laid upon the Table of this House during the Session of 1888.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYDo the Prisons Board deny that bail prisoners are entitled to all the privileges of first-class misdemeanants?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThey do not appear to have been asked that question, but I will inquire if the hon. Member wishes.
