HC Deb 16 June 1892 vol 5 cc1262-3
MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland what is the total number of persons who have been imprisoned in Ireland up to 31st May last under the provisions of the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act, 1887?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin University

The total number of persons who have been imprisoned in Ireland up to 31st May last under the provisions of the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act, 1887, is 1,893. It may be of interest to the House to know that out of the total number of 2,978 prisoners in custody throughout Ireland on the 1st instant four only of these were in custody under the Criminal Law and Procedure Act referred to.
