HC Deb 13 June 1906 vol 158 c968
MR. LONSDALE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the fact that Mr. Jeremiah Hurley, who was sworn in as a magistrate at Rosscarbery, county Cork, on May 9th last, is identical with the Jeremiah Hurley who, on October 8th, 1891, was convicted of an assault on a man in a Glandore public-house and sentenced to seven days' imprisonment with hard labour, was known to the Lord-Lieutenant when the addition of his name to the commission of the peace was sanctioned.

*MR. BRYCE

The Lord Chancellor has informed me that there was no information in his Department to the effect stated in the Question, and, having regard to the fact that the incident is alleged to have occurred so far back as fifteen years ago, he does not think it necessary to inquire into the matter.
