§ MR. BARTLEYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he could lay upon the Table the statistical authority on which he based his argument as to the hardships inflicted on compound householder voters who have been disfranchised in consequence of the compounding landlord not having paid the rates compounded for?
MR. J. MORLEYStatistics have not been obtained as to the number of cases in which voters have been disfranchised in consequence of the compounding landlord not having paid the rates compounded for. But our attention was called to the fact that such cases did occur, and deserved to be provided against.
§ MR. BARTLEYAre we then really to understand that there is no statistical information available for Members of this House?
