§ MR. GIBSONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether there is any truth in the report that Her Majesty's Government intend to bring in a Bill to abolish the District Registrars of the Irish Court of Probate; whether the Judge of that Court has been consulted on the subject; and, whether a similar measure is contemplated as regards the District Registrars in England?
§ MR. TREVELYANA proposal has been made, and is now under the consideration of the Irish Government, for providing greater facilities for obtaining probate and letters of administration in the localities in which the executors or administrators reside. Up to the present nothing has been determined about it. It has been only within the last day or two that the matter has come before the Irish Government, and the Judge of the Court of Probate will be consulted. I have no information as to any similar proposal having been made respecting the District Registrars in England.
