§ MR. BLANDsaid, he would beg to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, whether the Government intend to introduce any measure this Session respecting the management of Lunatic Asylums in Ireland?
§ MR. H. A. HERBERTI cannot, Sir, pledge myself that the Government will introduce a measure on the subject this Session. Three days ago I received a letter from Sir Thomas Redington, stating his regret that the Commission which had been appointed to inquire into this subject had not yet made their Report, and required an extension of time for that purpose. I cannot, therefore, make any pledge on the subject.
