CAPTAIN MOOREasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he has considered the Memorial of the Guardians of the Clonmel Union, dated the 18th of February last, praying that the Government will take into consideration the exceptional circumstances of that Union, the only one in Ireland whose building debt was not remitted by the Government, and if the ratepayers are justified in the hope that they will be placed on the same footing as regards cost of building their workhouse as all the other unions of Ireland?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, the Government had no power to act in the manner referred to. Besides, it would be laying down a precedent which he did not think it would be well to set.
