§ MR. C. J. ENGLEDOW (Kildare, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether his attention, has been called to the fact that the following civil bill officers, viz.: Halpin, Manders, Nelson and Young, who are attached to the Kildare County Court, are in the habit of acting as inspectors for the Conservative Party at the Parliamentary revision courts; whether it is regular for county court officials and sheriffs' officers to take an active part in political organisations: whether he is aware that the county court judge of Carlow, who is also county court judge of Kildare, prevented a Carlow civil bill officer from appearing as a party inspector in Carlow Revision Court; and, whether he will take steps to prevent the above-named civil bill officers, and all sheriffs' officers, from appearing as party inspectors in the revision courts at the forthcoming revision for the county of Kildare?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have not yet been able to obtain a Report on this question, and must ask the hon. Member to postpone it for a day or two.
