§ MR. HEALYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is the fact, as publicly stated, that Mr. James Butler, secretary to the Carlow Grand Jury, has been appointed valuator to the Land Commission?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, Mr. James Butler, who is secretary to the Carlow Grand Jury, was appointed a valuer under the Land Commission on the 30th of May last. I understand that the terms of his appointment are that his whole services are to be at the disposal of the Land Commissioners; but I am strongly of opinion that he should be called on to elect which office he should resign, and I will communicate my views on the subject to the Land Commissioners.
