§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received any communication from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland relative to the vacancy on the National Board of Education caused by the death of the Rev. Dr. Hanna, one of the Presbyterian members of that body, and if any appointment has yet been made?
§ MR. JACKSONSeveral applications and recommendations have been received on the subject of filling the vacancy on the Board of National Education. The usual form of representation from the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland does not appear yet to have reached the Lord Lieutenant.
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLHas a communication been received from the Governing Committee of the Assembly?
§ MR. JACKSONI have given an answer according to the information supplied to me on a question in reference to a document received by His Excellency, and the information makes no other reference.
