§ MR. MACARTNEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government in preparing the Estimates to bring forward Votes for the maintenance of Convicts and Convicted Misdemeanants confined in County Jails after sentence, the expenses of Witnesses at Assizes and 1175 Sessions, and half the Medical Relief in Unions in Ireland, as recommended by a Committee of this House in the last Session of Parliament, and in accordance with similar Grants in Great Britain since the year 1846.
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEsaid, it was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to bring forward Votes for the maintenance of Convicts and Convicted Misdemeanants confined in County Jails after sentence, and also for the expenses of Witnessess at Assizes and Sessions.

As to the subject of Medical Relief in Irish Unions, it was under the consideration of the Government, but he was not prepared to say when a Bill in reference to it would be introduced.
