§ MR. KNOXI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has received from the Cavan Board of Guardians a statement of the facts in connection with the case of "Ryan v. the Guardians of Cavan"; and whether, inasmuch as the damages and costs in that case were thrown upon the Guardians entirely through their obedience to the orders of an officer of the Land Commission, the Government will reimburse the amount of the loss?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir JOHN GORST,) ChathamYes, Sir; I have received the application in question. The matter is still under consideration.
