HC Deb 09 June 1902 vol 109 cc102-3
MR. DELANY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, seeing that some of the Irish judges have expressed disapproval of the practice of furnishing judges of assize with Returns of reported offences prepared by the Royal Irish Constabulary, and in view of the fact that no similar Return is presented to English judges, whether he will consider the advisability of discontinuing the practice.

MR. WYNDHAM

None of the judges have expressed disapproval of the practice of furnishing these Returns. The premise upon which the second part of the Question is based, does not, therefore, exist.
