§ MR. O'REILLYsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to fulfil the promise understood to be made by Mr. Cardwell in 1860, that an Irishman and a Roman Catholic should be appointed to the first vacancy among the Irish Poor Law Commissioners?
§ SIR ROBERT PEELsaid, in reply, that the matter was now under consideration, and perhaps the hon. Member would postpone his Question till another day.
