§ COLONEL HOWARD VINCENTI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if, as he has been good enough to authorise the Inspector General of the Royal Irish Constabulary to allow a central meeting of delegates to be held in Dublin on the proposed terms of disbandment, he will extend the favour so as to permit one constable to be sent from each county, having regard to the difficulty there would otherwise be in selecting the 11 representatives?
§ *THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-TyneThe Inspector General of Constabulary has in his discretion issued an Order directing that 11 representatives be selected for conference in Dublin—namely, two from each Province, one from Belfast, one from Cork, and one from the Depot. He cannot alter this arrangement and allow one constable from each county; nor does he see any difficulty in having the selection made under the terms of the Order issued.
