§ MR. M'FADDEN (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether the proceedings of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, embracing a large amount of historical geological, botanical, and every species of local information relating to every parish in Ireland, are still in manuscript stowed away in Dublin archives; and whether, having regard to their importance, His Majesty's Government will proceed to their publication, as was originally intended.
§ *MR. HANBURYAll these papers were handed over to the Irish Academy 947 at various dates between 1860 and 1890, and the Ordnance Survey Department has now no control over them.
