§ MR. M'COANasked, Whether the Return moved for by the hon. Member for Sligo (Mr. Sexton) last November as to the religion and other particulars connected with the Irish magistracy would be presented?
§ MR. TREVELYAN, in reply, said, this was a large and voluminous Return, and its preparation depended to a great extent upon an Office over which the Government had not much control. However, they had now got the names of the magistrates from the Clerk of the Hanaper, and inquiries were being made—inquiries, he must say, of a very novel sort, and of a sort which had often been questioned in that House. No time would be lost in completing the Return.
§ MR. M'COANsaid, he hoped it would be presented before the 27th instant, when his Motion was to come on.
