§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether he can state under what authority the Middleton Board of Guardians are sued for permitting the use of their boardroom for political meetings seeing that these rooms are used for meetings of creamery and co-operative societies; and whether there has been any precedent for similar legal proceedings.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe suit is founded on an alleged breach of trust by the guardians as public trustees. The Crown contend that the case is covered by the authority of many decided and reported cases, but as the proceedings are pending I must decline to enter further into particulars.
