§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Fermanagh, N.)I beg to ask the Attorney General why there is so great delay in the matter of the "Quinn Bequest" for Newry?
§ *THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER,) Isle of WightIn reply to the hon. and learned Member, I have to say that there has been no great or unusual delay in the matter to which his question refers. The settlement of schemes of this kind always occupies a certain amount of time. In the mouth of November of last year I took all the steps in my power to expedite matters. The scheme was settled early this year, and has been deposited in order that suggestions from the locality may be received and considered. The matter is now well advanced, and I hope that it will be completed before Whitsuntide. I would remind the hon. and learned Gentleman, as he is well aware, that I have not the conduct of the matter.
