HC Deb 10 August 1871 vol 208 c1324
CAPTAIN DAWSON-DAMER

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Whether it is true that the Clerk of the Crown for Queen's County has not attended the Assizes for the last two years; and, if so, can he give any information to the House on the subject?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. DOWSE)

said, in reply, that Clerks of the Crown in Ireland had power to appoint deputies. The Clerk of the Crown for Queen's County had done so, and, so far as he had heard, no complaint had been made against the manner in which that gentleman had discharged his duties.
