CAPTAIN CRAIGTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that at the conclusion of the trial for unlawful assembly at Tonlagee, county Roscommon, when the jury acquitted the prisoners, Mr. Justice Kenny directed the Crown Solicitor that no member of that particular jury be permitted to act in any other case which came before him; and what steps, if any, he proposes to take.
§ (Answered by Mr. Cherry.) At the request of my right hon. friend I beg to answer this Question. I am informed that the facts are as stated, but I do not think that the results of this trial affords any ground for altering the instructions 203 which I have already given to the Crown Solicitor as to the discharge of his duties. I do not, therefore, propose to take any action in the matter.
