§ Mr. GUINEYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether a man named William Heyslip, of Newmarket, was returned for trial at the Cork Assizes, now being held 1472W at Cork; whether he was allowed out on securities being given for his appearance before the judge, Heyslip having absconded; have the bonds of the securities been estreated; if so, for what amount; and the names and addresses of the securities?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe man Heyslip with two others was in the first instance returned for trial to the Mallow Quarter Sessions on 20th January, but the trial was postponed to the Assizes, and a fresh order for bail and securities was made. Heyslip, being unable to comply with it was detained in custody for some days, and it being discovered that by virtue of the Quarter Sessions Jurors (Ireland) Act, 1897, the old recognisances remained in force, Heyslip was discharged from custody. He failed subsequently to attend the Assizes for trial, but in the circumstances it was not thought expedient to apply to have the recognisances of the securities estreated.
