HC Deb 31 July 1891 vol 356 cc931-2
MR. FLTNN

I had intended to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether, under the Local Registration of Titles (Ireland) Bill, parties are bound to register all dealings relative to land with the Clerks of the Crown and Peace; whether these officials are now bound to attend to all their official duties in person, including regular attendance at the Quarter Sessions, as also at the different Assizes held throughout the year; whether some of these officials (some 8 or 10), are now between the ages of 70 and 80; and, under all the circumstances connected with these offices, whether these officials are bound by Clause 10 of the Privy Council Order, which appeared in the London Gazette of 19th August last, which requires all Civil Servants to retire from the Public Service after they have attained the age of 65 years? At the request of the right hon. Gentleman I beg to postpone the question.
