§ MR. T. M. HEALYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what is the present condition of Mr. John Cullinane, of Bansha, who is in prison in Tullamore, although his sentence has expired?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe General Prisons Board report that Mr. John Cullinane's illness has developed into typhoid fever. He has been visited by his family medical attendant. A slight improvement was found in his condition this morning.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYWhat, then, was the ground for the statement that this gentleman with others in this prison were suffering from influenza? When inquiries were made as to Mr. Cullinane's condition how is it that the prison doctor was not able to determine what the complaint was?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIf the hon. Gentleman will put the question down on the Paper I will give a reply. I am told that influenza was the primary stage, and that it has since developed into typhoid fever.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYMy question was in this form on Tuesday last, as also was 365 a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Mid Cork (Dr. Tanner).
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order!
