§ MR. M'CARTAN (Down, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the amended Royal Irish Constabulary Code has been yet printed; and whether lawyers appearing for accused constables at courts of inquiry will have an opportunity of purchasing or providing them- selves with a copy of the same, as at present they have to defend accused charged with violation of one or more articles of the Code without having an opportunity of studying the Code.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURThe answer to the first paragraph is in the affirmative. With regard to the second paragraph I must refer the hon. Member to my reply to the similar inquiry he addressed to me on the 28th February, 1899, to which reply I have nothing to add.
