HC Deb 16 June 1902 vol 109 cc707-8
MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork Co., N.E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state on how many occasions since the 1st January, the ordinary fortnightly Petty Sessions Court in Rathcormac has had to be postponed in consequence of the absence of magistrates; and, having regard to the public inconvenience caused thereby, he would consider the desirability of recommending the appointment of additional magistrates for the district.

MR. WYNDHAM

On one occasion only, the 27th May. The Lieutenant of the County will be happy to consider any recommendations made to him in favour of the appointment of additional magistrates in this district.

MR. REDDY (King's Co., Birr)

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Lord Lieutenant is as unapproachable as the Shah of Persia?
