HC Deb 19 February 1914 vol 58 cc1113-4
23. Earl WINTERTON

asked whether, in view of the conviction on a criminal charge of Mr. Francis Shackleton, formerly Dublin Herald, he will order the judicial inquiry into the disappearance of the Irish Crown Jewels demanded by Sir Arthur Vicars, late Ulster King-at-Arms?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have no power to order a judicial inquiry, even if I thought the circumstances required it.
