§ MR. MACARTNEY (Antrim, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Departmental Report relative to the allowances to be paid to Clerks of the Crown or Peace in Ireland for the carrying out of the Local Registration of Title Act has yet been received; and, if not, what is the cause of the delay; and have any, and what, steps been taken to expedite the presentation of such Reports by the Treasury Officers in Ireland?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTI hope to receive the Report next week; but I should explain that the unavoidable delay which has occurred has in no way affected the officers interested, as the allowances will date from 1st April and are not payable till 1st July.
