§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the speech for delivery of which to his constituents the hon. Member for South Ros-common (Mr. Hayden) is now imprisoned in Castlebar Gaol.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe speech of the hon. Member formed only part of the evidence in the case. There is no precedent for adopting such a course and I am not prepared to create one.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it is the case that Mr. Hayden, a Member of this House, has been in Castlebar Gaol since Saturday afternoon?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have had no notice and have no information, but I anticipate it is so.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLHave you, Mr. Speaker, received any formal notice of the commitment of Mr. Hayden to gaol?
§ *MR. SPEAKERI have received no information.
