HC Deb 28 February 1881 vol 258 cc1846-7
MR. R. N. FOWLER

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the name of the junior Member for the City of Cork is still retained by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland on the Roll of Justices of the Peace for the county of Wicklow?

MAJOR NOLAN

desired to know whether, at the instance of the hon. Member for the City of London, the Government intended to remove from the Commission of the Peace the names of all or any of the gentlemen favourable to Land Reform who might be disliked by such of the City companies as own large tracts of land in Ireland?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. LAW)

I believe it is the case that the name of the junior Member for the City of Cork (Mr. Parnell) is still on the Roll of Justices of the Peace for the county of Wicklow. As to the Question of my hon. and gallant Friend (Major Nolan) I can only say that I have no information on the subject to which it refers.
