HC Deb 27 March 1893 vol 10 cc1171-2
MR. MORROGH

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he has received a further resolution passed by the Kinsale Harbour Commissioners in reference to the receivership; and, taking into consideration the present embarrassed condition of the finances of the Board, will he allow the present acting receiver to perform the duties as set forth in the resolution, in order to enable them to practise all the economy possible?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

I have seen the resolution referred to, but I cannot add anything to my answer of the 21st February on the same subject. A receiver has been appointed by the Court of Chancery, and it is not in the power of the Board of Works or the Treasury to substitute another for him.

MR. FLYNN

Cannot the Board of Works communicate with the Court of Chancery with the view of retaining the present manager?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

The Harbour Commissioners might have appeared to urge their views before the Court, but this course was apparently not taken.
