MR. STIRLING

said, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, What progress has been made with the Brehon Law Publication; and whether the surviving Editor, Mr. Curry, is prepared to continue the work?

SIR ROBERT PEEL

said, that the manuscripts of the Brehon Laws from the beginning of the 14th century to the close of the 16th century had been transcribed and translated; and the Commissioners were in communication with Mr. Curry, the eminent Celtic scholar, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they could continue his services.
