HC Deb 29 March 1892 vol 3 c150
MR. P. O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will allow an independent medical expert to examine Dr. Gallagher, a prisoner in Portland Prison, as to his sanity, if the expense of such examination is borne by Dr. Gallagher's friends?

MR. MATTHEWS

I can only repeat the answer I gave yesterday. There are no reasons why I should allow an independent medical examination.

MR. P. O'BRIEN

The right hon. Gentleman does not propose to have any additional examination to that of the prison doctor?

MR. MATTHEWS

Not at present.
