§ MR. JOHNSTONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether the 18 Governors of the Down District Lunatic Asylum under the new arrangement have yet been appointed by the Lord Lieutenant and if so, whether their names will be shortly announced?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe 18 Governors for the Down District Lunatic Asylum have practically been selected, but their formal appointments are awaiting the selection of Governors for some of the other asylums. I am unable to say when the names will be announced, but there will be no unnecessary delay.
