HC Deb 06 March 1899 vol 67 cc1357-8
MR. W. REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the Petty Sessions at Broadford, county Clare, had lately to be adjourned in consequence of the non-attendance of a second magistrate, and that several of the local magistrates do not reside in the district, and inconvenience is caused thereby; and, if he will communicate with the Lord Chancellor in reference to this matter?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I am not aware that the facts are as stated, but I am making inquiry, and, if the result should justify such a course, I will bring the matter under the notice of the Lord Chancellor.
