§ MR. HEALYI want to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Chief Secretary for Ireland something with regard to Mr. Clifford Lloyd. I read in the papers yesterday that, when leaving Ireland, he was presented with a silver jug by his magisterial brothers, and a diamond pin by some policemen, and. that he departed amidst enthusiastic cheering from the people. Now, I want to know, Whether Mr. Clifford Lloyd has or has not received an appointment from Her Majesty's Government; whether he is still to remain in Ireland; and, if so, whether, under the Constabulary Rules, it is allowable for him to accept the presents to which I have referred?
§ MR. TREVELYANI have not heard anything about it yet. Certainly, no arrangement has been made by which Mr. Clifford Lloyd will leave Ireland.
§ MR. HEALYI wish to ask, whether Mr. Clifford Lloyd is still a Special Resident Magistrate in Ireland; and, whether he intends to remain there?
§ MR. TREVELYANHe is still a Special Magistrate. I cannot state whether he intends to remain so.
§ MR. HEALYI beg to give Notice that I will renew my Question on this matter to-morrow. The statement that I refer to is made in two Dublin newspapers.
