§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)On behalf of the honourable Member for North Leitrim I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland, is he aware that up to the present no civil bill sessions have been held in Tubbereurry, county Slige, although more than a year ago the Privy Council made an Order that such Sessions should be held in that place; can he explain the cause of the delay; and will he see that effect is given at the earliest 1142 possible date to the Order of the Privy Council?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.The fact is as stated) in the first paragraph. Representations, however, were made as to the inadequacy of the accommodation in the existing petty sessions court-house. The matter was brought under the notice of the grand jury by the Government, but the grand jury have declined to make a presentment for the building of a new court-house, being of opinion that the expenditure involved was not a matter for them to engage, in, and that the question should be deferred for the consideration of the county council to be created under the Local Government Bill. In the absence of adequate accommodation, and having regard to the representations received by the county court judge, a further Order in Council has been passed postponing the holding of a civil bill court at Tubber-curry until the Hilary Sessions, 1899.
