HC Deb 05 March 1891 vol 351 cc256-7
MR. KNOX

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether the Government will consent to the Motion for a Return, Justices of the Peace (County Cavan), which is on the Paper for this day?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin University

It would be contrary to precedent to give all the details asked for in this Return, but there is no objection to give a Return of the names and occupations of the Magistrates; and a Return of the Magistrates who attend Petty Sessions may be added if required.

MR. KNOX

Why does the right hon. Gentleman refuse to give the rateable value?

MR. MADDEN

It would be contrary to precedent.
