HC Deb 11 February 1864 vol 173 c462
MR. DILLWYN

said, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, When a Return relative to the dioceses of Cashel, Emley, Waterford, and Lismore, ordered on the 5th of May last, will be presented to the House?

SIR ROBERT PEEL

replied, that he very much regretted that so long a delay in the production of the Returns should have taken place. If, however, his hon. Friend would again move for them, he would take care that they should shortly be laid on the table. He had just received a telegram from Ireland stating that they were nearly ready.

SIR FREDERICK HEYGATE

said, he also would beg to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, When the Return ordered on the 5th of May last, relating to the number of Benefices of the Established Church in Ireland, to their emolument, to the number of licensed Ministers of the Church of Ireland, and to the total amount of the "Tax to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of Ireland," will be laid upon the table of the House?

SIR ROBERT PEEL

said, the Returns were ready, and, if the hon. Gentleman would be kind enough to move for them, they would be presented at once.
