§ MR. MACARTNEY (Antrim, S.)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether a claim for £37 7s. 5d. has been made by Miss Graham as executrix and residuary legatee of Mr. John Graham, formerly Sessional Crown Solicitor for the County of Fermanagh; whether such claim is for expenses incurred under the Jurors' Act, and pursuant to a Circular of 8th September, 272 1879, amounting to £18 12s. 9d., and for travelling expenses and allowances for attending at Petty Sessions, amounting to £ 18 14s. 8d.; whether an account, setting out the items of the above claim, had been furnished to the Under Secretary at Dublin Castle; whether payment has been refused, on the ground that Mr. Graham had not complied with the Rule to furnish a quarterly account of such expenses; and, whether Mr. Attorney General will reconsider his determination, and grant a special authority for the payment thereof; and, if not, would he state to the House what are the reasons for so declining?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. GIBSON) (Liverpool, Walton), in reply, said, the statement contained in the third part of the Question was correct. Payment had been refused, because Mr. Graham had not complied with the Rule to furnish a quarterly account of his expenses. He feared he could not depart from the decision which had been arrived at on the subject.
