§ MR. O'HANLONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the master of a workhouse can prosecute inmates for insubordination, without the assistance of a solicitor, before the magistrates at Petty Sessions?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe Local Government Board have been advised that if the Guardians of a Union direct the summons to Petty Sessions to be 494 brought in the name of one of their officers he can personally conduct the prosecution; but if the Guardians are themselves named as complainants in the summons they must appear before the Court by Attorney.
