§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is a fact that up to the 4th instant one Bankhead, of Falcarragh, County Donegal, had not been legally appointed summons-server in the Falcarragh Petty Sessions District; and, whether service at suit of summonses at Wybrants Olphert, landlord, against five tenants for alleged larceny of turf on Meenlaragh Bog by said Bankhead, was held good by Court of Petty Sessions at Falcarragh on Tuesday 4th instant, presided over by Mr. Bourke, P.M., Mr. Stewart, a local landlord, being the only assessor?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)I understand that it is the case that the man referred to was not an ordinary summons-server of the district. But he was permitted by the magistrate to serve the summonses, in accordance with statutable powers enabling the magistrate in that behalf.
