§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork, W.)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether the law costs incurred by a Board of Poor Law Guardians in taking proceedings against a lessor who refuses to pay the poor rate for which he is liable according to the rate books, and also in resisting the appeal of a lessor against the poor rate, should be a Union or an Electoral Division charge?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. GIBSON) (Liverpool, Walton), in reply, said, the practice, as he understood it, was to make it a charge on the Electoral Division. This practice had existed for upwards of 40 years, and he saw no reason for disturbing it.
