§ DR. TANNERI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether (as stated in the Irish newspapers) Lieutenant Colonel Caddell, R.M., has been appointed as Registrar of Petty Sessions Clerks in succession to Mr. O'Shaughnessey; and, if so, what are the necessary qualifications for the position in question and the annual salary; what is the date of Colonel Caddell's appointment; and what are his qualifications for the position?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI believe it is true that this appointment has been made. I cannot answer the second paragraph of the question.
§ DR. TANNERCan the right hon. Gentleman state what Colonel Caddell's qualifications are and what the salary is?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI believe the appointment rests with the Lord Lieutenant, and in regard to the qualifications of Colonel Caddell, I presume they are those required for the office of Registrar.
§ DR. TANNERI will put down a further question for Friday, and I hope the right hon. Gentleman will then be able to give the House more specific information.
