MR. SULLIVANasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If any further time is required for that inquiry into the case of Mr. J. A. Browne which was promised nearly nine months ago?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS - BEACHSir, I fear I must admit that the delay which has occurred in this case affords some reason for the hon. Member's Question. The promised inquiry was made with regard to it, and I have been in personal communication on the subject with my hon. Friend the Secretary to the Treasury; but fresh points have arisen on which further information was required, and hence the delay. I hope, however, to be soon able to inform the hon. Member that some decision upon it has been arrived at.
