MR. PATRICK O'BRIKN (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the serious charges of intemperance which have been brought against Mr. Hugh Graham, Justice of the Peace, of Dromore, County Tyrone, have been before the Lord Chancellor for several months; whether the Lord Chancellor has yet given his decision, and what is the cause of so long a delay; and whether he is aware that the Magistrate whose conduct has been so gravely impugned still sits in the Dromore Petty Sessions Court?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI am informed by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland that he has suspended the gentleman mentioned from sitting on the Bench of Magistrates. The allegation in the last paragraph of the question does not appear to have been well founded.
