§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the fact that the magistrates who usually adjudicated at Ballaghaderreen Petty Sessions have, since the district has been changed to the administrative county of Roscommon, been prevented by the resident magistrate from acting at the local court; and what steps will be taken to remedy the inconvenience that has been created in the district by thus disqualifying all the local magistrates.
§ MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. G. W. BALFOUR)Under Section 69 of the Local Government Act, when a portion of one county is added to another it becomes an integral portion of the county to which it is added, and the justices of the latter acquire, and of the former are deprived of, jurisdiction over it.
