§ MR. JOSEPH NOLAN(for Mr. PATRICK O'BRIEN,) Monaghan, N.I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether, in view of the fact that Mr. Irwin, the Resident Magistrate in Limerick, dissented from the decision of the Limerick Bench of Magistrates in regard to the prohibition of band playing until the election is over, the Government will cause the order of the Magistrates to be withdrawn?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin UniversityI am informed that the Resident Magistrate did not dissent from the decision of the Limerick Bench of Magistrates, but he threw out the suggestion that until the election is actually in progress it might be sufficient to prohibit the band from playing on Sunday and upon other days after nightfall. The Executive Government 1832 have no power to interfere with the discretion of the Magistrates in this matter.
