§ MR. HEALYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1666 Whether it is the fact that while Mr. Rice, a tenant farmer, was removed from his district in county Cork, where he acted as Sub-Commissioner, Mr. J. J. O'Shaughnessy, a landlord, of Ballinas-loe, is acting in the district with which he is connected, in county Galway, and in the very parish where he attends service; and, whether Messrs. Reeves and O'Keefe, previously associated with Mr. Rice, who also hold land in Cork, still adjudicate in that county; and, if so, why Mr. Rice was removed to Mayo?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER,in reply, said, the hon. Member must have put the Question under a misapprehension of the facts.
§ MR. CALLANasked whether Mr. Rice was not connected with the county Roscommon?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERsaid, he might be. He was not prepared to answer that.
§ MR. HEALYI am much obliged to the right hon. Gentleman for his answer; but would he have any objection to state the districts in which all the Sub-Commissioners operate? We have no means of ascertaining except from the Dublin newspapers.
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERThe hon. Member will find them advertised in The Gazette.
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERsaid, the Sub-Commissioners were changed from time to time. A Return would be laid on the Table.
