§ COLONEL FRENCHsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If the Lord Lieutenant is about to sanction the issue of money for the purpose of enlarging the Lunatic Asylum for the counties of Roscommon and Gal-way; the Grand Jury of the former county, at the last Spring Assizes, having unanimously voted against the proposed expenditure, and expressed their strong disapproval of the conduct of the Governors?
§ MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUEreplied that the amount asked for was something over £3,000, and the matter had been gone into in the usual way, without the Government having any 314 right to interfere. It had not yet come before the Government in any shape; but the matter would be fully considered before they gave or refused their consent to the expenditure.
§ Resolutions agreed to.
