§ MR. BIGGARasked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether, since the unpaid magistrates of Belfast are merchants and dealers in Belfast, and that they administer Law between employers and employed, the Government intend to appoint stipendiary magistrates in room of Captain Lloyd and Captain Plunkett, who have been removed to the south of Ireland?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)Sir, Messrs. Lloyd and Plunkett, the Resident Magistrates whose station is Belfast, are at present employed on temporary duty elsewhere; but if, before they return to their station, it shall be found necessary, other Resident Magistrates will be sent to Belfast in their place. Up to the present it has not been found necessary.
