HC Deb 12 April 1889 vol 335 c364
MR. BLANE

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether Moville, one of the most important towns in Donegal, might have the benefit of a County Judge's Court; and, if, on a former occasion, Government promised inquiry into the matter, and if result can be stated?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

In consequence of several memorials which were received, the Quarter Sessions for the County of Donegal were re-arranged by Proclamation of the 22nd May, 1885; but there was then no application from or on behalf of Moville. The last memorial received from Moville appears to have been some 17 or 18 years ago. At that time the matter was fully considered by the then Lord Lieutenant and the Privy Council, who did not feel themselves able to comply with the prayer of the memorial.
