§ MR. H. H. FOWLERasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the late Rev. Dr. E. Scott, principal of the Wesleyan Methodists College, Belfast, was placed on the senate of the Royal University of Ireland as the representative of the Irish Wesleyan Methodists; and, if he could explain why the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Scott has not been filled up by a gentleman of the same representative character?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, I answered this Question on Monday last in reply to the noble Lord the Member for Fermanagh (Viscount Crichton), and I then stated that in filling up the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Scott the Government had regard to the proportion of the several denominations in Ireland.
