§ MR. EDWARD BARRY (Cork Co., S.)I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he will explain why it is that Protestant jurors are summoned more frequently to the Cork Assizes and County Courts than Catholic jurors; whether the Crown officials have received remonstrances from Protestant jurors who are constantly taken away from their business at great inconvenience; and whether he will direct that in future all jurors shall be summoned in rotation?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELANDThe jurors are summoned in due rotation as provided by the Statute, and no selection of any kind is made. I am informed that there is no foundation for the statement that Protestant jurors have in fact been summoned more frequently than Catholic jurors, or that any remonstrance has been addressed by the former to any official. I must decline to give any direction such as is mentioned in the Question.
