§ MR. JORDAN (Clare, W.)I beg to ask 'the Attorney General for Ireland whether it is a fact that there is an unsettled case at the instance of Patrick Lynan, Queen Street, Kilkee, in the Kilrush Quarter Sessions Court, for the past six years 350 and nine months, and which has on some point of law been adjourned from Sessions to Sessions; and whether he will inquire into the cause of the delay?
§ * THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin UniversityI am informed that the case referred to, which is one for the administration of assets, was commenced in 1882. Three different solicitors undertook subsequently the case at various times but abandoned it. It was, however, again undertaken by another solicitor, and was partly heard at the last January Sessions and adjourned, not on a point of law, but for further evidence, to a subsequent Sessions. It now stands adjourned, both parties consenting, to the October Sessions, and will, it is presumed, be then finally disposed of.
