HC Deb 13 June 1917 vol 94 c976W
Mr. O'LEARY

asked the Home Secretary whether he can state the charge against Henry Stack in respect of which he has been detained in Cumberland Prison since 25th April without trial; whether he will be brought to trial forthwith or admitted to bail; whether he is aware that he is an American citizen; and whether the American Ambassador has been informed of his detention?

Sir G. CAVE

I find on inquiry that a man named Henry Stack was detained in Carlisle Prison, on remand and awaiting trial in respect of a criminal charge, from 2nd April to 1st June when he appeared at the assizes, was found not guilty and was discharged. The answer to the last two parts of the question is in the negative.
