§ MR. SEXTONI beg to move for a copy of correspondence between the Board of Governors of the Poor of the North Dublin Union and the First Local Government Board in reference to the tenure of the office of Treasurer of the Union by the Bank of Ireland.
§ MR. SEXTONMay I ask if there is any use in allowing this Motion to remain on the Paper? On Thursday last I gave notice of the Motion, and on Thursday at the request of the Chief Secretary for Ireland I put it down for today. Surely I am entitled to move for it now, as I have received no intimation of opposition.
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN)I have communicated with the Chief Secretary on the subject of the Return, and he informs me that the Local Government Board see objection to laying this correspondence on the Table, and he also states that it has practically become public already, so that no advantage would be gained by laying it on the Table.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYIs it the cost of the paper?
§ MR. SEXTONWe have seen it in fragments in the newspapers, but we cannot get it altogether, which is extremely inconvenient. I beg to give notice that I shall call attention to the matter on the Vote on Account.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."
