§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir M. HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.What has been called the arrears of the Irish Fee Grant were voted by Parliament more than a year ago, and applied, with the assent of the National Board of Education, towards making up the deficiency in the Teachers' Pensions Fund. I have no other proposals to make on the subject.
