HC Deb 16 August 1901 vol 99 cc1173-4
MR. EDWARD BARRY (Cork County, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Mr. Martin, a county court valuer in the West Riding in the county Cork, recently in his private capacity valued the farm of Mrs. O'Sullivan, Glencurragh, Skibbereen, for the landlord; whether it is in accordance with official regulations that, as a county court official, he should do so, and, if not, will steps be taken to remove him from the position of county court valuer.

MR. WYNDHAM

The question has been referred to Mr. Martin, who states that he never valued the farm in question, either for the landlord or for the county court judge. The latter would not employ him to value a farm which he had previously valued in his private capacity.
