§ MR. P. M'HUGHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a gentleman named William Rowley, of Trissilian Road, Brockley, London, has been appointed by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland High Sheriff of the County of Leitrim for 1894; is he aware that the gentleman named is entirely unknown to the people of Leitrim; and does the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland propose to appoint High Sheriffs of counties in Ireland without regard to the wishes or the interests of the vast majority of the inhabitant rate and cesspayers in these counties?
§ MR. BRYCE (for Mr. J. MORLEY)The gentleman named in the question has not been appointed High Sheriff for the County of Leitrim for 1894. Sheriffs for counties in Ireland are appointed, and at all times have been appointed, by the Lord Lieutenant from a list of three names supplied by Her Majesty's Judges during Michaelmas Term to His Excellency.
