§ MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on what grounds Philip Barry, who was sentenced to twenty years penal servitude for manslaughter at the Cork Winter Assizes in 1894, was recently released.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham). The sentence of twenty years penal servitude was mitigated to one of ten years by the Lord Lieutenant in April, 1900. The prisoner was released on licence on the 27th May, 1902, having completed nearly seven and a half years of the latter sentence and earned, under the regulations, a remission of the remaining portion of the sentence.
