HC Deb 02 February 1891 vol 349 c1530
COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland if the Lord Lieutenant has received Memorials pointing out that Mr. P. Nully, of Mayo, was imprisoned for 10 months before the date of his second trial, and that a Crimes Act jury disagreed at his first trial; if the Lord Lieutenant has been informed that the nearest relation of Mr. Nully is very old, ill, and not likely to survive for any long period; and if, under these circumstances, the Lord Lieutenant will be pleased to advise Her Majesty graciously to permit that the 10 months' imprisonment suffered by Mr. Nully shall be allowed to reckon as part of his sentence?

MR. MADDEN

A Memorial on behalf of the convict mentioned and of the nature indicated, has recently been before the Lord Lieutenant. His Excellency has decided that the law must take its course, and the memorialist has been so informed.
