HC Deb 23 August 1883 vol 283 cc1740-1
MR. CALLAN

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in view of the measure promised for the establishment of County Government in Ireland founded on representative principles, he will have any objection to procure and lay upon the Table of the House a Copy of the Grand Jury Panels for the Spring and Summer Assizes, 1882 and 1883, and a Return showing the amount of property for which each grand juror appears rated for the relief of the poor, and liable for the payment of county cess; and a similar Return as to the property of one hundred of the largest cesspayers in the order of rating whose names do not appear on the Grand Jury Panels?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, I will offer no objection on the part of the Government to the Returns of which the hon. Member has given Notice for to-day. The Returns which the hon. Member asks about will impose a good deal of labour on secretaries to grand juries and clerks of unions; but the Returns will be of interest and value.
