MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What is the annual amount of the salary and allowances of Mr. Hamilton, E.M. Armagh; and, by how much they exceed the ordinary annual amount of salary and allowances to resident magistrates in Ireland?

MR. CAMPBELL- BANNERMAN

Mr. Hamilton is in receipt of a salary of £800 a-year, and the ordinary allowances of a first-class Resident Magistrate —namely, £100 a-year commuted forage allowance, and £8 a-year for postage and stationery. His salary exceeds the ordinary salary of a Resident Magistrate of the first class by £125 a-year.

MR. SEXTON

Why, why?

MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMAN

The hon. Member did not ask me that.

MR. SEXTON

Then I will ask you to-morrow.
