§ MR. SEXTONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, under a Bill obtained some years ago by the Dublin City Market Company, authorising them to buy houses in South Great Georges Street, Dublin, Mr. Joseph Fishbourne was appointed arbitrator, but resigned without making the awards; whether Mr. Posnet was appointed arbitrator in the room of Mr. Fishbourne, and, in several eases heard by him about a year ago, has not yet made awards; whether the Market Company are throwing down houses adjoining those in respect of which, after a period of a year since hearing, awards have not yet been made; and, whether he can say how soon Mr. Posnet may be expected to discharge his functions?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, that he had no responsibility in the matter, which lay within the province of the Board of Works. He believed that as much progress was being made as possible.
