HC Deb 26 April 1877 vol 233 c1942
MR. M'CARTHY DOWNING

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether Mr. Hunt Walshe Chambré, whose name appears in the list of magistrates for the county Tyrone, and who since his appointment and within the last three months arranged with his creditors under the Irish Bankruptcy Acts, has since such arrangement acted as a magistrate in said county; and, if so, has he been newly assigned Her Majesty's Commission in that behalf?

SIR MICHAEL HICKS - BEACH

Sir, Mr. Chambré has not been newly assigned to act as a justice of the peace. From information which has been furnished to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland by the Chief Registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy it appears that Mr. Chambré has not been adjudged bankrupt, nor made any arrangement or composition with his creditors under the Irish Bankrupt and Insolvent Act, 1857, or the Bankruptcy (Ireland) Amendment Act, 1872. His case does not, therefore, come under the section of the Act of 1872 affecting magistrates.
