HC Deb 16 April 1896 vol 39 cc1048-9
MR. J. DALY, Monaghan, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he is aware that the Relieving Officer of Carrickmacross Union reported to the guardians of that union, that a case in which he represented the guardians under the Public Health Act was dismissed by the Magistrates at Petty Sessions Carrickmacross, on 20th March 1896, on the ground that the guardians should be represented by a solicitor; will he state who was the Chairman on this occasion; and, if a solicitor is needed in such cases; and, if not, will he call the attention of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland to the matter?

* MR. GERALD BALFOUR

This Question was only placed on the Paper to-day and there has not been sufficient time to obtain a Report. Perhaps the hon. Member will repeat it to-morrow.
