§ MR GIBSONdesired to ask the Attorney General for Ireland a Question of which he had given him Private Notice. In a Return of Ejectments in Ireland issued that morning, it had been shown in the case of the Superior Courts how many Orders of Ejectment had been issued, and how many had been carried out. But in the case of the other Courts only the Orders issued had been shown; but not whether they had been carried out. He would like to know whether his right hon. and learned Friend could see his way to amend the Return, or to issue 1572 a Supplementary Return, showing in how many cases these Orders of the Civil Bill Courts had been carried into effect?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)said, he understood that the form in which the Orders of the Civil Bill Courts were carried out was introduced by the late Government, and had been persisted in up to the present time. But if it were practicable he would endeavour to supply what his right hon. and learned Friend asked for, as the request was exceedingly reasonable. It was desirable, of course, to show what proceedings in the Inferior Courts had ripened into eviction, as well as those in the Superior Courts.
