§ COLONEL NOLANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he can state what is the present qualification for the post of guardian in the Clifden Union, and if the Local Government Board will consider the propriety of reducing the money qualification required in that union?
§ MR TREVELYANThe qualification for the post of Guardian in the Clifden Union is £30.
