MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether he is aware that the master of Ballivor National School, Mr. Fox, has been convicted before County Court Judge Curran and fined £40 for assaulting a boy pupil, and that this is the second convic- 933 tion against this teacher for assaulting a pupil; and whether he is still in charge of Ballivor School, or engaged in any capacity on it, and whether the Commissioners of National Education intend to take any and what action in the matter.
§ MR. ATKINSONThe case of the teacher referred to has been before the Commissioners, who have directed that the payment of his salary shall cease as from the end of the present month.
