HC Deb 26 October 1899 vol 77 c729
MR. WILLAM JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will state the existing law respecting those who shall maliciously and advisedly endeavour to seduce any person or persons serving in Her Majesty's forces by sea or land from his or their duty and allegiance to Her Majesty; and if he will direct its publication in the Dublin Gazette.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER, Isle of Wight)

No general answer can be given to such an abstract question. Whether such persons are liable to proceedings or punishment must depend on the facts of the particular case.
