MR. MONSELL

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, When the volumes of original Orders of the Lord Lieutenant and Council, 1592–1615, and of Kings' Letters, obtained from the Philadelphia Public Library, will be sent to Dublin; and, whether these Papers are to be calendared in the series of Calendars of Irish State Papers, under the direction of the Master of the Rolls?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, in reply, that the volumes of original Orders of the Lord Lieutenant and Council, 1592–1615, and of Kings' Letters obtained from the Philadelphia Public Library, were now in the hands of the bookbinders for the purpose of being handsomely bound. They would, he hoped, be ready to be sent to the Public Record Office in Dublin in a very short time. Copies would be taken for the use of students in this country There were other Papers of great importance relating to Ireland being calendared, and these would take precedence of the Papers to which the right hon. Gentleman's Question referred in that respect.
