HC Deb 03 August 1894 vol 28 cc25-6
MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland will he inquire if, at the last Trim Revision Sessions, the names of the following 10 persons were objected to on the South Meath Voters' List by Thomas Rogers, and the objections allowed, notwithstanding which they appear on the Voters' List for 1894—namely, 127, Cox, John, Haggard Street, Trim; 269, Farrell, Francis, Churchtown; 280, Finnegan, John, Church Street, Trim; 425, Kane, Peter, Trim; 540, Melady, Michael, Watergate Street, Trim; 541, Melia, John, junior, Scarlet Street, Trim; 562, Mooney, James, Seaton Lane, Trim; 637, McKean, Thomas, Market Street, Trim; 669, Nulty, Patrick, Trim; 796, Smyth, John, Townpark South: 672, O'Dare, John, Watergate Street, Trim; and do these names all belong to one political Party?

MR. J. MORLEY

The Clerk of the Crown and Peace informs me that only five of the 10 names mentioned in the question were objected to at the last Revision Sessions; that of these five objections only one was signed by Thomas Rogers; and that none of the five objections were allowed. All the names mentioned in question were allowed to remain on the lists by the Revising Barrister and appear on the Register for the present year. I have no information as to the politics of the persons named.

MR. T. M. HEALY

As the information supplied to me entirely differs from that of the right hon. Gentleman, may I ask if he referred the matter to the Revising Barrister?

MR. J. MORLEY

If my hon. Friend thinks the information incorrect I will make further inquiry.

MR. T. M. HEALY

But was the Revising Barrister referred to?

MR. J. MORLEY

I really cannot say.
