HC Deb 25 May 1882 vol 269 c1593
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, as a consequence of the recent policy of the Government in Ireland, it is intended to restore the name of Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell to the Commission of the Peace?

MR. TREVELYAN

The Executive Government does not interfere in the appointment of county magistrates; the appointments rest with the Lord Chancellor, who usually acts upon the recommendation of the lord lieutenant of the county.
