§ MR. KELLY (Camberwell, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to a proposed lottery for the Cathedral of St. Macartan, in the diocese of Clogher, for which lottery as many as 200,000 tickets have been printed, and amongst the prizes for which are two sums of £150 each; and, whether, such lottery being illegal, he will cause the necessary steps to be taken to prevent its being persisted in by those who are responsible for its promotion?
§ THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN (Mr. SEXTON) (Belfast, W.)asked, whether the proceeds of the lottery were not entirely to be devoted to the funds of the Cathedral?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.), in reply, said, he had seen the tickets referred to, and he believed the right hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Sexton) was right in saying that the proceeds were to be devoted to the Cathedral purposes. He could not do more than repeat what he had said in reply to a previous Question, the effect of which was that the matter was under the consideration of the Attorney General for Ireland.
