HC Deb 26 June 1916 vol 83 c517
95. Mr. GRAHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the prisoners from Tullamore, who were taken out of the Civil authorities' hands by Sir John Maxwell in respect of an alleged offence occurring five weeks previous to the revolt in Dublin, have been tried by court-martial; if so, what was the date of their trial, and what sentence, if any, has been imposed; and whether the Government will see their way to release these prisoners, who have now been over three months in prison?

Mr. TENNANT

The result of this trial has now appeared in the Press. The proceedings were not confirmed, and the prisoners were released.

Mr. GINNELL

Was the trial in camera??

Mr. TENNANT

I do not know.
