§ MR. PINKERTON (Galway)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Why the rule adopted 532 in the other three provinces of Ireland, of holding the assizes in the chief city of the province, is departed from in the case of Connaught, where the assize is held in Sligo instead of Galway; and, whether the present arrangement will be altered?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University)(who replied) said, that no such rule as that stated in the Question existed as to the places for holding the Winter Assizes, which depended upon considerations of convenience.
