§ MR. HASSARDsaid, he wished to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, If he has directed his attention to the Petition filed by the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests in Ireland against the Attorney General and others in the matter of the "Fanning Charity, Water-ford," and to the Judgment pronounced thereon by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland on the 3rd May instant; and if it is his intention to introduce any measure to amend the Laws relating to Charitable Donations and Bequests in Ireland?
§ MR. O'HAGANsaid, in reply, that his attention had been directed to the case in question, and that the Lord Chancellor had expressed some doubts as to his jurisdiction in certain matters of great importance relating to the Charities in Ireland. He had himself been in communication with the Commissioners of Charitable Donations, and he proposed to introduce a 193 measure shortly after the recess which he hoped would set all these doubts at rest.
