§ MR. LANEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether there is any Roman Catholic Justice of the Peace resident in the Petty Sessions district of Youghal; and, if not, whether he will take steps to remedy such a state of affairs in a district chiefly inhabited by Roman Catholics?
§ MR. MADDENI am informed that there does not appear to be any Roman Catholic Magistrate in the Youghal Petty Sessions district. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland is ready to consider the names of any properly qualified Roman Catholics that may be submitted to him by the Lieutenant of the County, who is always glad to be in a position to submit such names.
§ MR. JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)Will the hon. and learned Gentleman say whether the boycotting of Protestants in Youghal has ceased?
§ MR. LANEWill the hon. and learned Gentleman say by what means the people of the locality can bring the name of suitable Roman Catholics under the notice of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, seeing that the Lord Lieutenant of the County is the Master of an Orange Lodge, and would certainly not recommend a Roman Catholic for the Commission of the Peace?
