§ MR. FINIGANI wish to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he can now state the terms of the resolution of the Leitrim Board of Guardians in reply to an application made to them to allow the quartering of troops in the workhouse?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERI have stated before, in answer to a Question which the hon. Gentleman put to me on the same subject, that the resolution of the Board of Guardians made no reference to the peaceful state of the county, but simply stated what the' accommodation of the workhouse was. I have now in my hand a copy of the resolution of the Guardians, which I will read to the House—
This board is of opinion that there is no room for troops in the workhouse; and that, if the weather continues as it is at present, there will not be sufficient accommodation for the poor.
§ MR. FINIGANIs there no other statement at the beginning of the resolution?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERCertainly not, Sir.
§ MR. FINIGANI beg to give Notice that I shall ask a further Question on this subject on Monday.
