HC Deb 10 July 1893 vol 14 cc1158-9
MR. JAMES LOWTHER (Kent, Thanet)

May I ask the Chief Secretary whether he will lay on the Table a copy of the official Report of Mr. Justice Gibson's Charge at Ennis?

MR. J. MORLEY

Between the official Report and that published in the principal organs of the Press there is no material difference, except the one to which I referred on Friday, due, doubtless, to the slip of a telegraph clerk, or possibly of a reporter, and I doubt whether it is worth the trouble of printing. But, personally, I have no objection to laying the document on the Table.

MR. JAMES LOWTHER

The right hon. Gentleman corrected the hon. Member for Tyrone on an important point, stating that he was quoting from the official Report taken by the official note taker.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

May I say, in justice to the right hon. Gentleman, that I have carefully examined other newspaper reports, and they correspond with the Report which the Chief Secretary read.

MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to give notice that, inasmuch as the right hon. Member for East Manchester always refused to produce such Reports except when they were in his own favour, I shall oppose any such Motion made by the right hon. Member for Thanet.

MR. JAMES LOWTHER

If it is opposed, I shall claim it under the Rules of Parliament.
