HC Deb 03 November 1902 vol 113 c1404
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state how many prosecutions for unlawful assembly have taken place during the last two years under The Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act, 1887, in the city of Belfast.

MR. WYNDHAM

It has not been found necessary to institute proceedings under this provision of the Act in Belfast. Persons who break the law I there are made amenable under the ordinary law, and receive exemplary punishment.

MR. TULLY

Are not the assemblies in Belfast, every Sunday, just as un-lawful as the one for which I was sent to gaol?

[No answer was returned.]
