THE ERASMUS SMITH ENDOWMENT.

HC Deb 31 March 1890 vol 343 c278

MR. JOHN O'CONNOR (Tipperary,S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland when will the Educational Endowments Commissioners publish their scheme dealing with the Erasmus Smith Endowment?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I understand that some delay has occurred in considering the scheme, owing to the retirement of Mr. Justice Naish, one of the Judicial Educational Endowments Commissioners, from the Commission owing to ill-health. But that the matter now only awaits the return from Circuit of his successor on the Commission.
