§ MR. JOHN O'CONNORasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Great Southern and Western Railway Company of Ireland agreed to give the Grand Jury of the county Tipperary a sum of £200, for the construction of a suitable approach to Benedine Bridge, near Nenagh, on the Company's Line from Nenagh to Bird Bill; whether said approach would run through the lands of Mr. George Bolton, Crown Solicitor for the county, and whether Mr. George Bolton subsequently received the sum of £200 from the Grand Jury; whether Mr. George Bolton had not, for his own convenience, agreed to construct the new approach at his own expense, if the Grand Jury allowed him to receive the £200; whether the presentment for the nominal sum of 2s. 6d. for the construction of said approach was taken out by Mr. Bolton's clerk and steward, William Clear, in the year 1878, and a portion of the approach laid out; whether the approach has not yet been made, and does Mr. Bolton, notwithstanding, still retain the £200; whether Mr. Bolton is solicitor to the Grand Jury; and, what course the Government will take in the matter?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI have received a telegram from the secretary of the Grand Jury of Tipperary, in which he states that a presentment was made for 2s. 6d. by the Nenagh Grand Jury to legalize an-alteration in a road through the Bolton property. The Railway Company contributed £200, which Mr. Bolton received. The works are nearly finished, 860 and the old road is not interfered with. Mr. Bolton is solicitor to the Grand Jury. There is nothing in this which calls for the interference of Government.
