HC Deb 19 June 1884 vol 289 cc790-1
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether Mr. Albert Hutton, of Rockfield Swanlinton, is about to be appointed to the Commission of the Peace for the county of Cavan; and, whether that gentleman was bankrupt or insolvent in England?

MR. TREVELYAN

I am informed that this gentleman was appointed to the Commission of the Peace by the late Lord Chancellor more than two years ago. He did not then take out his Commission; but he has recently applied for it. There is no information whatever before the Lord Chancellor to show that this gentleman was either bankrupt or insolvent in England at any time.

MR. HEALY

It is a very easy thing to find out whether this gentleman was insolvent or not, if the Lord Chancellor would be willing to make the inquiry.

MR. TREVELYAN

said, there was no objection to do so.
