§ MR. O'HANLONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has seen the following paragraph in the Ulster Weekly News, of the 12th April, 1890—
James Daly and his follow prisoners, who were convicted at the last Derry Assizes for boycotting the engines and waggons of the Great Northern Railwav, Ireland, woe transferred on Tuesday front Deny to Belfast, in charge of three policemen. They were clad in prison garb, and, on their arrival at Belfast, were handcuffed two and two, like common felons. and taken away on cars; and. to an ordinary observer, it seemed that their clothing (they had no overcoats) WAS hardly sufficient for the kiting winds of the day;whether the above is a true statement of the removal of the prisoners; and will he see that in future prisoners will receive better treatment?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURA great part of this question has been answered before. In regard to the new part of it, I have made inquiry, but have not yet received a reply.
