DR. KENNYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether Dr. Grimshaw, Registrar-General for Ireland, was appointed to that position on the condition of devoting his entire time to the duties of the office; whether he is aware that Dr. Grimshaw holds other appointments of an honorary character, and also holds, and has held since his appointment as Registrar General, other offices for which he does receive, and has received, remuneration, the duties connected with which demand for their discharge a considerable amount of time; whether he is aware that Dr. Grimshaw is at present a member of the Conjoint Committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and is paid for duties in connection with said position a sum of £40 or £50 per annum; and whether it is the intention of the Irish Government to call upon Dr. Grimshaw either to resign his appointment as Registrar General, or relinquish the office above mentioned, and refrain in future from seeking or accepting any such appointments?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI must ask the hon. Gentleman to postpone the question. I have not been able to obtain the information, this question having appeared on this morning's Paper without previous notice.
