§ MR. O'SHEAasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether there is any truth in the rumour that it is intended to introduce considerable changes into the organisation of the higher ranks of the Royal Irish Constabulary; and, if so, whether, having regard to the effect on zeal and efficiency often created by uncertainty, he will take a very early opportunity of announcing the designs of the Irish Government in the matter?
§ MR. TREVELYANA Bill on this subject is in course of preparation, and will be introduced with as little delay as possible.
