MR. SULLIVANasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If, since the Lord Chancellor of Ireland had under his consideration the conduct of Mr. W. Anketell, J.P. and D.L. of county Monaghan, in cutting the throats of certain dogs in Emyvale, his Lordship has taken any notice of the newspaper reports of the trial of Hawkes v. Anketell, in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, on the 14th inst.; and, whether, in view of the evidence brought forth on that trial, his Lordship still considers that gentleman worthy to retain the Commission of the Peace, and to act as a magistrate in Ireland?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH,in reply, said, that the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, having read an account of the transaction in the newspapers, addressed a letter to Mr. Anketell, requiring an explanation, but had not as yet received an answer.
