HC Deb 28 May 1902 vol 108 c790
MR. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state how many Justices of the Peace in the Petty Sessions District of Clonmacate, County Armagh, are Roman Catholics; what resident magistrate will attend the trial of the Annaghmore rioters; whether any rioters have been identified other than those already summoned, and, if so, whether they will be prosecuted.

MR. WYNDHAM

This is the seventh Question addressed to me by the hon. Member in respect of proceedings for riot which are now pending. All the information that can properly be given has already been given, and I must decline to discuss a matter which is subjudice.

MR. MACVEAGH

What is the right hon. Gentleman's objection to answering the first part of the Question?

MR. WYNDHAM

I object to discussing the personnel of the Bench before which the case is to come.
