§ SIR JOHN GRAYsaid, he wished to ask, Is it true that an order has been issued to the effect that no more pensioners shall be admitted into the Kilmainham Hospital, Dublin; and, if so, is that order to be taken as an indication of the intention of the Government to abolish that national institution?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, that pending an inquiry that was about to take place, it was not intended to fill up any vacancies in the establishments at Chelsea and Kilmainham; but this would not affect the pensioners, whose vacancies would continue to be filled as usual.
