HC Deb 24 February 1893 vol 9 c319
MR. FLYNN (Cork, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether in the Kanturk district, County Cork, any magistrate other than Major Hutchinson, Resident Magistrate, is authorised to issue gun licences; and, if not, why is this authority confined to this gentleman; is he aware that Major Hutchinson peremptorily refused to grant a gun licence to Mr. John A. O'Connor, a merchant in Kanturk; whether he can state upon what grounds this refusal was based; and on what principle does a stipendiary magistrate act in giving or withholding an ordinary gun licence?

MR. J. MORLEY

I am causing inquiry to be made on this subject.

MR. FLYNN

I will put the question down for Monday.
