BELFAST JAIL INQUIRY.
---
PRISONERS NOT REPRESENTED.
---
A preliminary sitting of the Special Commission appointed to inquire into the complaints as to the treatment of the Sinn Fein prisoners in Belfast Jail during the months of June and July last, was held on Thursday.
As indicated in the correspondence published between the Chief Secretary and Mr. Duggan, solicitor for the prisoners, the latter were not represented at the sitting. The reason given is that no guarantee could be offered that the proceedings would be published without censorship.
The Court granted the request of counsel for the authorities to have the venue at Belfast.
