§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)To ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether he will grant a Return of the number of cases within the last twenty years in which persons were imprisoned or fined in Ireland for contempt of court.
(Answered by Mr. Cnerry.) Successive Returns have been laid before Parliament giving full particulars of cases in which persons have been committed to prison for contempt of court in Ireland during the past twenty years. The last of these Returns, which brought the proceedings down to 31st December, 1904, bears the number 138 of last session. My right hon. friend will have no objection to grant a Return in continuation down to 31st December, 1905, if the hon. Member should move for it.
