§ MR. HEALYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If it is the faet that at a meeting of the Manorhamilton Board on the 1st of May, the majority consisting of ex-officio guardians refused to sign the minutes of the previous meeting, and proceeded to cancel the appointment of committees elected at that meeting; was this legal, and can a resolution of a board be cancelled without fourteen days' notice; have the Local Government Board recognised the validity of the proceedings on either day; and, what do they intend to do in the matter?
§ MR. TREVELYANSome of the proceedings of the Board of Guardians on the 24th of April in regard to the appointment of Dispensary Committees, were illegal; and the Local Government Board having, by letter dated the 30th of April, called the attention of the Guardians to the state of the law on the sub- 165 ject, the committees were revised by the Board on the 1st instant. The correction on the 1st instant of anything illegally done on the 24th of April was a proper and legal proceeding. But the action of the Guardians in regard to the appointment of committees still requires amendment, and the Local Government Board are in communication with them on the subject. The majority of the Guardians, on the 1st instant, did decline to allow the minutes of the previous meeting to be signed, some of the proceedings on that day having been ascertained to be illegal.
