HC Deb 16 May 1892 vol 4 c977
MR. WILLIAM O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at what date the case of the convict Kinsella, at present confined in Maryborough Prison, was last re-considered; and whether, in view of the fact that the man is in bad health, and has already suffered ten years' penal servitude for assault, and that the man assaulted has long since recovered from his injuries and received £150 compensation, the Lord Lieutenant will again consider Kinsella's case with a view to exercising the prerogative of mercy in his favour?

*MR. JACKSON

The case of the convict referred to was last considered in October, 1890, by the Lords Justices, acting for the present Viceroy. If the convict is of opinion that there are any circumstances he would wish to have brought before the Lord Lieutenant, it is, of course, open to him to submit a further memorial.
