§ MR. CALLANsaid, he wished to ask the Financial Secretary to the Treasury a Question with reference to the stamp forgeries in Dublin—namely, Whether it was a fact that in 1877 information was received at the Stamp Office in Dublin that there were forged stamps on the files in the office of the Queen's Bench, and that two officials connected with the Stamp Office inspected those files on which were stamps purchased from Mr. Colclough, and were unable to detect any forgeries?
§ LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH, in reply, said, as well as he could remember, some years ago an anonymous communication was received at the Stamp Office, to the effect that certain frauds were going on; but, though careful investigation was made at the time, no discovery of fraud was made.
