§ Mr. T. P. O'CONNOR(by Private Notice) asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if the Government will give an assurance that in the case of John Joseph Egan, of Ennis, County Clare, who has been sentenced to death and for whom a writ of Habeas Corpus has been granted, the sentence will not be carried out until the proceedings before the judge who granted the writ have concluded.
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI am informed that a conditional Order for a writ of Habeas Corpus has been granted in the case of John Joseph Egan, convicted for being in possession of ammunition in the martial-law area. The final decision in this case will not be taken pending an appeal now before the House of Lords in a similar case.
