§ MR. O'BEIRNEsaid, he also wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Government intend taking, during the present Session, any and what steps for rendering available to the Irish public the numerous and very important Public Records relating to Ireland, which are preserved at the Record Office, London, and to which the attention of the Government was directed four years since by the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant?
§ MR. SCLATER-BOOTHsaid, in reply, that he was not aware what were the important Public Records to which the Question of the hon. Member referred. He was informed that there were no Records relating to Ireland in the Record Office, but there were entries in the Rolls of Chancery and other Courts, which it had been proposed to transcribe, in order to their being deposited in the Dublin Office. This was merely a question of expense, and might be postponed until the other questions relative to the Irish Records, were decided by the Master of the Rolls.
