§ MR. T. D. SULLIVANI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he can say whether any and what progress is being made towards the publication of the promised volumes of the Irish Brehon Laws; and whether, on account of the death in July, 1899, of the Eight Rev. Dr. Graves, one of the Brehon Law Commissioners, he deems it advisable to appoint another Gaelic scholar in his place, and so expedite the work of publication, and give confidence to all who feel interested in the due preparation of the volumes.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Glossary, which will form Volume 6 of the series, is nearly completed, and it is hoped that it will be ready for printing, together with Volume 5, by Christmas. No special steps are therefore necessary to expedite the work of publication.
