§ MR. D. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland if he will release the money found upon the Maguires, who are detained in prison for alleged larceny from the body of a dead man, so that the men may be enabled to provide for their defence?
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. J A'I'KINSON,) Londonderry, N.If evidence on oath be supplied to me by the prisoners that they are unable to provide for their defence without this money I will direct that so much of it as may be at present necessary may, with the exception of one particular five pounds, be paid over to the prisoners on their signing a receipt therefor, describing the nature of the monies paid over and the amount.
