DR. AMBROSE (Louth, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if the persons who signed the application to the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries to alter the close time or season for salmon on the coast of the County Louth, on which the Inspectors held a meeting at Castle belling ham on the 18th October, 1892, and afterwards made an Order on the 18th November, 1892, altering the season, defrayed the expenses of such application and all proceedings consequent thereon, as provided by the 33rd section, 5 and 6 Vic, c. 106; and, if so, what was the amount defrayed by them, 1102 and what was the amount of the expenses incurred by the Inspectors consequent on the proceedings?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Inspectors of Fisheries report that, in accordance with the usual practice, the persons who made the application referred to did not contribute to the expenses of the inquiry. The inquiry was taken with others, and the proportion of expenses fairly chargeable thereto would be about £4.
