§ MR. P. A. M'HUGH (Leitrim, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the 1567 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that early in March last an insane patient was detained 26 hours at Manorhamilton, County Leitrim, no second Magistrate being available to commit him; was this circumstance brought at the time under the notice of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland; was the Lord Chancellor requested to appoint to the Commission of the Peace for the County of Leitrim certain gentlemen resident in the Petty Sessions district of Manorhamilton; and has the Lord Chancellor arrived at any decision regarding the names submitted to him? I wish also to ask the right hon. Gentleman is he aware that Mr. M'Ternan, of Heapstown, County Sligo, has been appointed to the Commission of the Peace for the County of Leitrim, although he does not reside in the County of Leitrim, and does not own any property in it; what qualifications does Mr. M'Ternan possess for appointment to the Magistracy; and on whose recommendation did the Lord Chancellor act in appointing him? Further, may I ask the right right hon. Gentleman how many of the lists of additional Magistrates for counties in Ireland, promised in the House of Commons on 30th May, have been published since that date; and when will the remaining lists be published?
MR. J. MORLEYI have called for Reports regarding these three questions which were placed on the Paper to-day for the first time. Perhaps the hon. Member will be good enough to repeat them on a future date.
