§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether he can state what decision has been arrived at with regard to the application made to him by a deputation of Belfast merchants to withhold the valuation lists for Belfast until the Select Committee on Irish Valuation has issued its final report.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (MR. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.Beyond completing his examination of the Appeal cases, the Commissioner of Valuation does not propose to take further action until after March next. In April and May he hopes to arrange for interviews with leading mercantile and other public bodies, as well as with individuals whose valuations are seriously affected by the re-valuation. The appeal lists will probably be issued in June or July, so that those who wish may appear before the Recorder in October, when the appellants would, for the first time, be put to any expense. The Select Committee will doubtless have reported long before that date.
