§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will cause the Committee of Visiting Justices of Kilmainham Gaol to be summoned, or take any other steps necessary, for the purpose of allowing Mr. M'Hugh, M.P., to edit and conduct his newspaper, the Sligo Champion, to the same extent that Mr. W. T. Stead was allowed to edit and conduct the Pall Mall Gazette when imprisoned in Holloway Gaol in 1885.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe privileges granted to Mr. M'Hugh in this respect are identical with those formerly enjoyed by Mr. Stead. A special meeting of the Visiting Committee acceded to Mr. M'Hugh's request, subject to the stipulation that he should avoid all reference to his imprisonment and to the circumstances which led up to it.
