HC Deb 20 June 1904 vol 136 c498
MR. JAMES O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has seen the resolutions passed by several representative bodies in the county of Roscommon, dealing with the sentence recently imposed on Mr. Patt Webb, county councillor, which resolutions ask for a repeal of the law empowering magistrates to inflict imprisonment without the option of a fine, to which sentence there is no appeal; and whether he proposes to introduce the change requested by these resolutions into the law in Ireland.

MR. WYNDHAM

On Monday last I replied to Questions addressed to me on this subject by the hon. Members for South Donegal and South Roscommon.†
