§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with respect to the case of Daniel Leary, a convict in Mountjoy Prison, who has been in the hospital for the past four mouths, whether, in view of the fact that his sentence is nearly up, and that he is seriously ill, he will order his release?
MR. J. MORLEYThe General Prisons Board report that this convict was removed on the 21st of last month on medical grounds to Maryboro' Prison, where his condition will be carefully watched. He will be eligible in the ordinary course for release on licence on the 23rd of next month. His case was recently under the consideration of the Government, and there seemed to be no adequate medical ground for release before that time.
