§ MR. POWER (Waterford, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what right of appeal exists in Ireland against surcharges made by the auditors appointed by the Local Government Board; and have the people of Ireland the same right of appeal against such surcharges as is possessed by the people of Great Britain where surcharges are made by auditors appointed by the Local Government Board.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURUnder Section 63 of the Local Government Act, 1898, persons aggrieved by the decisions of auditors in Ireland have practically the same right of appeal as exists in England; that is to say, they may appeal against surcharges either to the Local Government Board or to the Court of Queen's Bench.
