§ MR. CRILLY (Mayo, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if Mr. William R. Kirkwood, of Killala, County Mayo, still holds the Commission of the Peace for that county, or, if he has been dismissed or superseded, what are the reasons which prompted the taking of this course?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J.
