§ MR. SHEEHANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received a memorial for transmission to His Excellency Earl Dudley, praying for the release of John R, O'Sullivan, a prisoner undergoing two sentences of penal servitude in Maryborough Gaol of fourteen years; and whether, in view of the circumstances of the case, of the good conduct of the prisoner during his first sentence of fourteen years, and of the peaceable state of the country, he will recommend to the Lord Lieutenant that the remainder of the sentence on this prisoner should be remitted.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe memorial has been received and will be submitted to the Lord Lieutenant in the ordinary course. It does not come within my 307 province to make a recommendation to the effect suggested.
