HC Deb 06 March 1884 vol 285 cc656-7
MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether James Greer, of Coney-warren, Omagh, who, as a magistrate of Tyrone, attached his name to a public document offering Lord Rossmore hearty thanks for his conduct at Rosslea, and declaring that the Commissioners of the Great Seal had no valid justification for removing Lord Rossmore from the Commission of the Peace, is the same person who holds the office of Crown Solicitor for the county Antrim; and, if so, what notice will be taken of his conduct?

MR. TREVELYAN

The Mr. Greer referred to is the Crown Solicitor for Antrim. The Government highly disapprove of his conduct in having signed the declaration offering his hearty thanks to Lord Rossmore for his conduct at Rosslea. He has, however, expressed his regret that he did so, states that he acted hastily, and promises to avoid any such misconduct in future. His Excellency has decided to accept this apology and take no further steps in the matter.
