THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

I have to ask the noble Earl opposite, if he will answer such a Question without Notice, Whether any Successor has yet been appointed to Mr. Forster in the Office of Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland?

EARL GRANVILLE

The Question of the noble Marquess requires no Notice. It is a simple fact that Mr. Forster's Successor is Lord Frederick Cavendish.

THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURY

Will Lord Frederick Cavendish, according to the new custom, also retain the Office of Secretary to the Treasury?

EARL GRANVILLE

No; he will not.
