§ Mr. BROMFIELDasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland why it was that although permission had been given by 943W Lieutenant-Commander Little for the next-of-kin of Joseph Tormey and Patrick Sloan, who had been shot by a sentry while interned in Ballykinlar camp, to be represented by counsel at the military inquiry, three telegrams from the prison leader asking Mr. Healy, K.C., to attend were accepted by the chief military censor and afterwards suppressed, and that in consequence the next-of-kin were not represented at the inquiry?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThe enquiry was adjourned to enable the next-of-kin to be represented and they were so informed. In the case of one deceased the invitation to attend was declined and in the other the next-of-kin attended the enquiry, but in neither case was any application with reference to legal representation made. The telegram to Mr. Healy was submitted by an internee without communication with "or authority from the next-of-kin."
