§ MR. O'SULLIVANasked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Under what Clause of the Crimes Act the Lord Lieutenant has power to charge the cost of extra Police to a different barony in a county from that in which they are employed on special protection duty?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. PORTER)said, this Question was of a somewhat abstract character; but he had no objection to answer it. He was not aware of any section of the Crimes Act which authorized the Lord Lieutenant to charge the expenses of one barony upon another, unless both were in the same proclaimed district.
§ MR. O'SULLIVANasked whether such a charge had not been made upon the barony of Kilmallock in respect of police services performed in a neighbouring barony?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. PORTER)said, he was informed that the hon. Member was under a mistake in reference to this matter. There had been no charge on one barony for services performed in another.
