HC Deb 08 November 1912 vol 43 cc1610-1W
Mr. NEWMAN

asked the exact offences for which Mr. Eugene O'Sullivan, J.P., of Killarney, county Kerry, was reported by an Election Court; the exact offences for which he was prosecuted by the Crown before the magistrates at Killarney Petty Sessions; and with what result?

Mr. BIRRELL

The election judges reported Mr. Eugene O'Sullivan guilty of the corrupt practices of undue influence and intimidation by his agents with his knowledge and consent, but they did not find him guilty personally of such corrupt practices. Mr. O'Sullivan was prosecuted for corrupt practices (undue influence) at Killarney Petty Sessions in August, 1910, when informations were refused by a majority of the bench.
