§ MR. J. E. ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Why the Returns of Judicial Rents for November and December, 1887, having been laid upon the Table on the 22nd of February, have not yet been distributed, and with whom the responsibility for the delay rests?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University), in reply, said, the Question of the hon. Member only appeared on the Paper that morning; but he had ascertained that the Returns were duly presented and laid on the Table at the proper time. Some delay must necessarily occur before these Returns were printed.
§ MR. J. E. ELLISasked if, on previous occasions, these Returns had not always been printed within 10 days after being laid on the Table?
§ MR. MADDENsaid, he was unable to answer the Question without Notice.
