MR. ENGLEDEWI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will cause a Return to be laid upon the Table of the House giving the names of the several officers employed under each Grand Jury in Ireland, and giving the date of their appointment, the law under which they were appointed, emoluments they receive and how paid; whether they hold any other office under the county or under Government; and, if so, the emoluments attached to such office; whether the appointment is a permanent one or only made from Assizes to Assizes; whether their services to the Grand Jury have been continuous; and whether he will have the information required, when collected, checked by some reliable authority?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELANDI have forwarded to the hon. Member the heads of a Return to which no objection will be offered if he will place on the Paper a Notice of Motion in the amended form indicated by me. As regards the last paragraph of the Question, each Grand Jury secretary will be asked to certify to the accuracy of the information supplied; but beyond this the Government have no means of checking the information unless a county officer should also hold a Crown appointment.
