HC Deb 14 December 1916 vol 88 c882W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will state the words alleged to have been used, the character of the witnesses who proved them, and the constitution of the Court at Cahirciveen which sentenced Messrs. Jeremiah J. Riordan and Michael Walsh to two months' imprisonment, seeing that the Government prevent newspapers from publishing this class of information?

Mr. DUKE

The language alleged was language inciting to sedition. The Court was regularly constituted, and it appears to have believed the witnesses. In view of the fact that notice of appeal has been lodged, I must not enter further into the matter.
