HC Deb 06 February 1891 vol 350 c151
MR. SEXTON

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether Joseph Mullett, a prisoner undergoing a sentence of penal servitude in Down patrick Gaol, is in a dying state; and whether the Government will cause or allow an examination by an independent medical man?

MR. MADDEN

A medical officer from the Prisons Board went down to examine the prisoner, and has reported that there is no ground for the suggestion, but that the prisoner is in thorough good health.

MR. SEXTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman allow the man to be examined by some medical officer who is not connected with the Prison?

MR. MADDEN

The medical officer sent down by the Prisons Board was not connected with the prison.
