MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with reference to the treatment of Mr. Daly, of Carrickma cross, on his way to Belfast Gaol, whether he is aware that Mr. Robert Dunlop, T.C., Belfast, who was convicted of forgery and of insurance frauds, was transferred from Belfast to Deny Goal in his own clothes and that no attempt was made to handcuff him; and why such different treatment was given to Mr. Daly and his friends, who were convicted of boycotting only, and who were obliged to wear prison clothes and handcuffs on their way to Belfast Gaol from Derry?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThese gentlemen had the option of wearing their own clothes on their original reception in the prison, but they elected to wear the prison dress. Mr. Dunlop was not handcuffed, because no difficulty was expected in regard to him.
