§ COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if, now that the spring sowing is nearly over, he would start relief works in the Tuam and Clonamaddy Unions, at a slightly higher wage than 5s. 6d. a week?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI find that through the slight rise in the price of Indian meal, the money equivalent to a stone of meal a day will be about 6s. a week. This is found sufficient in districts where real distress prevails. For the week ended 11th April as many as 3,379 persons in other districts were receiving payment in meal for their labour.
