MR. SEXTON

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether Mr. Alexander Carlisle Buchanan, of Riversdale, Omagh, Stamp Distributor of county Tyrone, has attached his name to a public declaration condemning the Government for having deprived Lord Rossmore of the Commission of the Peace; and, what notice will be taken of the matter?

MR. MACARTNEY

asked whether the Lords Commissionors of the Great Seal were supposed to be identical with the Government?

MR. COURTNEY

, in reply, said, that the Question of the hon. Member for Tyrone ought to be addressed to his right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary for Ireland. In answer to the hon. Member for Sligo, Mr. Buchanan had been communicated with, and had stated that, when he signed the document, he was not aware he was signing a declaration condemning the action of the Government. He had expressed regret for what he had done, and the Government would take no further action regarding it.
