§ Sir WILLIAM BULL (Hammersmith)I beg to ask the Chief 1101 Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can give details as to the prison treatment of persons committed in default of providing sureties for good behaviour for the offence of cattle-driving, under the heads: Prison uniform, dietary, correspondence, visits, exercises; association; remission of sentences; and punishments.
§ MR. BIRRELLPrisoners of the class referred to in the Question are treated in Ireland as untried prisoners. For the special rules governing their treatment I would refer the hon. Member to the Rules for Ordinary Prisons in Ireland, published as Parliamentary Papers in 1902 (H.C. Papers 129 and 189 of 1902) The details could not well be compressed within the limits of an oral Answer.
