HC Deb 30 April 1897 vol 48 cc1345-6
MR. D. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N.)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland (1) if the Lord Chancellor has been made aware that Mr. James Beatty, J.P., on the 2nd of March last, at Brooke-borough Petty Sessions, adjudicated in a case wherein his first cousin was the prosecutor and fined the defendant, a labourer, in the sum of £3; and (2) what action will the Lord Chancellor take in this ease?

* THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.

A man named Kirkpatrick was summoned to the Petty Sessions at Brookeborough on the date mentioned for trespass in pursuit, of game, at the suit of a relative of the Justice referred to. The complainant, however, did not appear, and the case was not heard. The Question mentioned in the second paragraph does not, therefore, arise for consideration.
