ioased them. The same thing might occur again,
and John DAILY and others, convicted of perjury
during the Liberals tenure Of office, be liberated
by the Conservative Government
Why, he asked. did not Mr. Gladstone release
these prisoners in 1856? He tGladstone did not
hesitate to stoop to ascertain the opinions OF

accent his Home Rule bill Of that year, and even
went so far as to receive some of these people at
Hawarden Why didn't he release the prisoners
at that time ,,r ,.,,. ~
