HC Deb 09 June 1896 vol 41 cc718-9
MR. J. F. HOGAN (Tipperary, Mid)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention has been called to the disorderly proceedings in Hyde Park last Sunday afternoon, consequent on the renewed exhibition of sacred emblems by an anti-Roman Catholic lecturer; whether he has observed the remark of Mr. Hannay, the presiding magistrate at Marlborough Street Court, referring to the crying and intolerable nuisance thus created; and when he hopes to be in a position to publish his new regulation for putting an end to such exhibitions.

SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

I have seen the report in this morning's paper of the proceedings of the police court, but I have not had sufficient time to allow of my obtaining detailed information from the police. The regulations for the park are made by my right hon. Friend the First Commissioner of Works, who informs me that certain, new rules are in a forward state of preparation.
