§ MR. PETER M'DONALDasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, If the Irish Chief Remembrancer has completed his investigations into the accounts of the late official assignee of the Irish Court of Bankruptcy, Mr. Charles Henry James; and, if he has reported thereon; and, if so, will the report be printed and circulated in the usual manner?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. H. H. FOWLER)The Treasury have been informed by the Treasury Remembrancer of Dublin that the investigation of the accounts of the late official assignee of the Court of Bankruptcy would be completed during the next week. Until my Lords have received and considered the information thus obtained they cannot state what course they will adopt with respect to it. As I have not yet seen the Report, I cannot say whether it can be laid on the Table of the House.
§ MR. PETER M'DONALDMight I ask the hon. Gentleman whether this examination has not been going on for the last eight months?
§ MR. H. H. FOWLERI have no means of answering that Question.
