HC Deb 05 March 1900 vol 80 c44
SIR WILFRID LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General whether his attention has been called to certain incitements to riot and breach of the peace; and whether he will call the attention of the Public Prosecutor to the matter.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

My attention has not been called to any incitement to riot or breach of the peace, but the hon. Baronet has been good enough to send me an extract from the Sun newspaper. In my opinion the paragraph does not fall within that description, and certainly there was nothing that would justify my directing any action on the part of the Public Prosecutor.
