§ MR. F. MANDEVILLE (Tipperary, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lientenant of Ireland, why the usual Petty Sessions are not now held in the Court House at Golden, County Tipperary; is he aware that inhabitants of the Golden Petty Sessions district are caused much expense and loss of time by having to attend Petty Sessions at Cashel, in another district; and, will he 117 take steps to have Petty Sessions at Golden for the convenience of the people of that district?
MR. JOHN MORLEYIt appears that for some time past Petty Sessions business has not been transacted at Golden, but at Cashel, and it also appears that the Golden Sessions were abandoned in consequence of an order issued by the magistrates, who considered the Court House was unfit for occupation. As soon as the matter was brought under the notice of Government, steps were taken to secure that the business of Petty Sessions should be transacted at Golden as usual, and the magistrates have been informed that, if the Court House is in an unfit state, it is the duty of the Grand Jury to provide a proper justice room. Ths Sessions were held at Golden on the 21st instant.
