COLONEL O'BEIRNE

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will state in what manner, and by whom, is the inquiry conducted, that is at present taking place, into the circumstances attending the election of Clerk of Petty Sessions for the districts of Dromod and Drumsna, county Leitrim, vacant since December 1881; and, when is such inquiry likely to terminate; and, if he will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the Correspondence and Report of the Inquiry?

MR. TREVELYAN

The matter is still under consideration by the Irish Government, and cannot give a definite answer. I regret that I cannot answer the Question till next week; but I will let the hon. and gallant Member know as soon as the matter is settled.
