HC Deb 21 February 1905 vol 141 c779
MR. WILLIAM McKILLOP (Sligo, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a man named Daniel M'Goohan, of county Leitrim, who was convicted on the evidence of Sergeant Sheridan, was released by the Irish Government after serving close on two years imprisonment with hard labour in Sligo Prison, and that the only compensation given to M'Goohan was £100; and will he, in view of the recent decision in the case of Adolf Beck, who has received £5,000 compensation, reconsider the case of M'Goohan, with a view to adequately compensating him for false imprisonment.

MR. WYNDHAM

The case of Daniel M'Goohan was very fully discussed in this House two years ago. The reply to the second inquiry is in the negative.
