MR. O'KEEFFE (Limerick City)asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, If the Mayor of Limerick, legally constituted locum tenens, was again refused admittance to the Limerick Prison on Monday last, when claiming his right to enter as a Visiting Justice; and, if he will explain what powers in that respect the Mayor's deputy possesses under s. 69, 17 & 18 Vict. c. 194 (185)?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University)The Prisons Board inform me that they sent instructions on the 18th instant, to the effect that the claim referred to in the Question should be admitted. When the Mayor has been appointed as such a member of the Visiting Committee, his deputy is, in my opinion, entitled to act in that capacity 1763 in his absence under the section referred to.
