HC Deb 12 July 1888 vol 328 cc1096-7
MR. W. REDMOND (Fermanagh, N.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with reference to the Sub-Commission to be sent to Fermanagh from County Down, Whether it is a fact that Mr. Mowbray, who was sent away from the Down Sub-Commission, is to rejoin it at Fermanagh; and, why he was removed from this Commission in County Down?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

, in reply, said, the Land Commissioners informed him that the reason of the removal of Mr. Mowbray from the County Down Sub-Commission to the County Tyrone, was in order that he might take the place of Mr. Sproule, who was a Tyrone man, and could not sit in his own county. As soon as the Tyrone sittings were over, both Mr. Mowbray and Mr. Sproule returned to their own Sub-Commissions as a matter of course.
