HC Deb 11 August 1884 vol 292 cc427-8
MR. DEASY

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, What course the Lord Chancellor intends to take with regard to the appointment of gentlemen to the Commission of the Peace for the county of Cork whose names have been submitted to him by public boards in that county?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALKER)

There have been only four Memorials presented to the Lord Chancellor from public Boards submitting names of gentlemen for the Commission of the Peace for the county of Cork. In one case the Lord Chancellor declined to appoint the gentleman named. In another the gentleman recommended withdrew his name. In the remaining two cases the Boards were respectively informed that the application, according to the settled practice, should, in the first instance, be made to the Lord Lieutenant of the county, since which time the Lord Chancellor has heard nothing further on the matter.
