HC Deb 27 July 1916 vol 84 c1848
32. Mr. FIELD

asked the Home Secretary whether he will furnish a Report of the trial in the case of Malachy Brennan; and whether he is aware that in this case there are grounds for a public inquiry?

Mr. FORSTER

My hon. Friend is, I think, misinformed. There was no trial, and the question of a Report does not, therefore, arise. In answer to the second part of the question, I would refer him to the answer given yesterday by the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for North Westmeath.

Mr. FIELD

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that there are special circumstances regarding this case which make a. special inquiry necessary?

Mr. FORSTER

I was not aware that there were any special circumstances.
