§ MR. SEXTONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is true that the teachers of 1097 agricultural schools under the Board of National Education in Ireland have not received the result fees due on the last examinations in agriculture, though these examinations were held so long ago as the month of September last; if so, why, and how soon the teachers in question may expect to get their money?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON) (for Mr. W. E. FORSTER)The teachers of agricultural schools under the National Board have received their result fees in all but two instances. The delay in the inspection of the schools was owing to Professor Baldwin's illness, and afterwards to his employment on the Royal Agricultural Commission and subsequent resignation. Mr. Carroll was appointed in his room; and the only two remaining cases in which the fees have not been settled will shortly be disposed of.
