§ *MR. MULDOONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether ha has any objection to procure from the learned Judge who tried the case of Carroll v. Masterson and another, in the High Court of Justice in Dublin on May 17th and 18th last, a copy of his lordship's notes of the evidence given in that case, and lay the fame upon the Table of the House.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe application is, I understand, absolutely unprecedented. I have no right to make such a demand, and I am unable to understand for what object the information is desired or what purpose it could serve.
§ *MR. MULDOONWill the right hon. Gentleman lay on the Table the depositions taken in the case by his own Crown Solicitor?
§ Mr. WALTER LONGCertainly not.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)Did not Justice Holmes in 1872 lay his charge before Parliament?
§ Mr. WALTER LONGI am not aware, and I do not see how that arises out of the Question.
§ MR SWIFT MACNEILLOh, yes, the right hon. Gentleman said there was no precedent. I have given him one. I am enlarging the horizon of his ignorance.
