HC Deb 04 January 1894 vol 20 c820
DR. R, AMBROSE (Mayo, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state how far the Lord Chancellor has proceeded with his examination of the Papers which have been placed before him with reference to the dismissal from the Commission of the Peace of Mr. Robert Vesey Stoney, of Rosturk Castle, County Mayo; and if he can give a definite idea as to when the Lord Chancellor will have completed his examination?

MR. J. MORLEY

Mr. Stoney is in Switzerland, and that has caused some delay in communicating with him. In answer to the Lord Chancellor he has written resigning his commission for the County of Mayo, and acting upon this the Lord Chancellor has removed his name from the lists of Justices.

DR. R. AMBROSE

Is it Mr. Stoney's intention also to resign the Deputy Lieutenancy of County Mayo?

MR. J. MORLEY

I rather think that follows on the resignation; I will, however, inquire.
