MR.WILSON

stated in reply to a question from Colonel French, that steps had been taken for consolidating the Irish Revenue Police with the Constabulary; that those officers of the Revenue Police who were not disqualified by age for admission into the constabulary would be absorbed in that force as vacancies arose; that those officers who were too old for the constabulary would receive pensions for life, according to their length of service, and that the younger officers, for whom there were not at once vacancies in the constabulary, would receive pensions until such vacancies occurred.

Bill to be read 3° To-morrow.
