§ MR. W. A. MACDONALD (Queen's County)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary 137 to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received a copy of the resolution passed by the Queen's County Grand Jury at Maryborough, in which they expressly endorse the resolutions adopted by the public meeting previously held at Portarlington, which resolutions condemned the Government scheme for the drainage of the Barrow by means of embankments, and advocated the scheme recommended by Lord Castle-town's Commission; and, whether, in face of this second expression of opinion from the locality interested, he intends to adhere to the scheme embodied in his Bill of last year?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURAs at present advised I do not propose to alter the scheme.
