§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of her age of SO years, he will advise the Lord Lieutenant to order the release of Mrs. Madigan, of Kilrush, who is at present in Limerick Gaol for contempt of Court in having failed to carry out some matter in connection with a will.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverThe discharge of prisoners committed for contempt of Court is not controlled by the Lord Lieutenant. I am informed that the Court of Chancery will at once release this woman upon her complying 1589 with its order requiring her to render an account of her dealings with the estate in question.
