MR. STACPOOLE

said, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, In whose hands the allocation and distribution of the Queen's Plates in Ireland are placed; and, whether, as these Plates are given for the encouragement of the breed of horses, they will be allocated to races in the four different Provinces of Ireland?

MR. STANSFELD

said, in reply, that the matter rested with the Master of the Horse. He had no objection to give a Return on the subject.
