§ MR. P. MCDONALD (Sligo, N.)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether, in the annual Parliamentary Returns, directed by the statute 20 and 21 Vict. c. 60, s. 68, and made by the late Official Assignee, the words "I certify this to be a true return" have been habitually omitted; whether these words are contained in the Form (Schedule B.) prescribed by the statute; and, whether this alteration of the Act has been sanctioned by the Judge of the Court, and certified by the Chief Registrar?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University)I find that the words "I certify this to be a true Return," in the form prescribed by the Act, have been omitted from the Parliamentary Returns for the year 1863, and probably from an earlier period. I am informed that this omission was never sanctioned by the Judges, and probably arose from an error in the instructions originally given for the printing of the forms, which has been since overlooked.
