GENERAL SIR GEORGE BALFOUR

asked the President of the Local Government Board, When he may expect the Irish and Scotch Registrars' Reports of Births, &c.?

MR. SCLATER-BOOTH

, in reply, said, he had already informed the hon. and gallant Gentleman that he had no authority whatever over this registration. He had mentioned the matter to the Lord Advocate, who, he believed, had telegraphed to Scotland to make inquiries on the subject.
