HC Deb 24 May 1897 vol 49 cc1147-8
MR. DALY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware if the promised audit of the accounts of the Secretary of the Grand Jury of county Monaghan has taken place; aid whether he can say what sum has the Secretary to the Grand Jury of Monaghan been surcharged with on account of the illegal charge he has been making to road contractors for tender forms in the Barony of Farney.

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The accounts of the Grand Jury of Monaghan have been audited. The question of the fees charged by the Secretary to the Grand Jury for these tender forms does not come before the Auditor in his audit of the County Accounts. The Auditor, however, understands that all tender forms are now only charged the statutory fee of sixpence.
