§ MR. SAMUEL YOUNGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been directed to a resolution unanimously adopted by the board of guardians at Banbridge, county Down, on the 28th ult., which sought the amendment of the law upon the subject of the appointment of dispensary medical officers in Ireland, in order that each doctor should provide and pay for the services of a locum tenens in all cases of his own absence and whether he will give his favourable consideration to the suggestion.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURThe resolution referred to has been received; but I do not think the suggestion contained in it could be adopted with advantage.
