HC Deb 09 May 1901 vol 93 cc1157-8
*MR. DELANY (Queen's Co., Ossory)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will grant a Return for the past thirty years, showing the number of cases in England in which jurors were told to stand aside by the Crown; the number of jurors set aside in each case, their religion, and the religion of the prisoners, and the offences with which they were charged.

*MR. RITCHIE

There are no materials upon which such a Return could be based.

*MR. DELANY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether in the whole of his experience he has heard of such a case?

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
