§ MR. BLANE (Armagh, S.)I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that Captain O'Conor, of the Palace, Elphin, and now a director of the Freeman's Journal, limited, is described as a receiver under the Land Judges in a book compiled and edited by Mr. Madden, Q.C., and another member of the Irish Bar; whether Captain O'Conor has been appointed to this office; and whether the practice in such matters is for the person desiring to be appointed to send in a notification of his willingness to act?
§ MR. MADDENI am informed that the gentleman mentioned in the question was entered on the Judges' list in 1889 as suitable for the appointment of Receiver, but has not been appointed up to this date. I am also informed that it is not necessary for a gentleman whose name is on the list to send in an application.
§ MR. MADDENIt is inaccurately discribed as a "situation." The Judge places on the list certain gentlemen whom he considers suitable to act. It is not necessary that any application should be sent in by the gentlemen so placed, and the gentleman whose name is mentioned in the question, as a matter of fact, has not been put in charge of any particular office.
