HC Deb 23 May 1876 vol 229 c1117
MR. M. BROOKS

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If any new circumstances have occurred since the Treasury Minute of June 1874 was sanctioned by this House to occasion the suspension of the promotions in the Registry of Deeds, Ireland, in case of vacancies recently occurring, and when will effect be given to the recommendations of the head of that department consequent thereon?

MR. W. H. SMITH

Promotions in the Registry of Deeds (Ireland) have been suspended because, after an inquiry, it has been found desirable to propose an entirely new system of keeping the Registers, for which an Act of Parliament is necessary. A Bill will be introduced in due course.
