§ COLONEL NOLANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If, now that a conviction has been obtained for the murder of sub-constable Kavanagh, he will recommend that the fine of £1,500, leviable on the Barony of Ballynahinch, be remitted, either by special action on the part of the Government or by the Government paying the £1,500 to the Barony constable, and thus providing for the family of the murdered man?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, the sum referred to in the Question of the hon. and gallant Member was a presentment made under the provisions of the Grand Jury Act, and the Government, therefore, cannot interfere with it.
