§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Wexford, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that it is a rule of the Royal University of Ireland that students who have passed examinations under the University can only receive one certificate of their having done so; and whether he will give directions that when the original certificate has been lost the secretaries shall issue a duplicate if required for any particular purpose.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI am informed that the Senate is, for obvious reasons, unwilling to issue a second certificate unless satisfied that the original has been destroyed. But, when the circumstances 1333 warrant it, a letter is issued embodying the substance of the certificate.
