§ 57. Major NEWMANasked the Prime Minister whether during his visit to Ireland he saw and conversed with those confined in Richmond Barracks on suspicion of complicity in the rebellion that had just taken place; and whether as a result of his interview, he was able on parting to shake hands with those with whom he had had conversation?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the 820 affirmative. I must confess that my memory does not serve me for the second part.
§ Major NEWMANWill the Prime Minister search his memory and find out?
§ The PRIME MINISTERCertainly not.
