§ MR. T. P. O'CONNORasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that Judge Ormsby, at the recent assizes in. Galway, congratulated the grand jury for the county of the town on its immunity from crime; whether the cases brought before the learned judge were about six in number, and all of a comparatively trivial character; and, whether, under these circumstances, the Lord Lieutenant will re-consider the proclamation of the county of the town of Galway?
§ MR. TREVELYANI am aware that the Judge at the recent Assizes did express satisfaction at the present state of the town of Galway. There were only two Crown cases for trial. His Excellency has no present intention of revoking the proclamation.
§ MR. T. P. O'CONNORAm I to understand that districts are to be proclaimed in which no crime exists?
