§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Commissioners of Income Tax do not now sit for the hearing of Appeals in the city of Armagh as formerly, and that, in consequence, appellants from Armagh and the neighbouring district are put to cost and inconvenience by having to go to Portadown; and whether, seeing that Armagh is central for the county, also the County town, he will direct that sittings of the Court shall he held there in future.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HAYES FISHER,) FulhamThe Special Commissioners of income Tax have not sat at Armagh since 1900, but they would be ready to do so in any year in which the amount of business there may make it desirable.
§ M LONSDALEThere were no fewer than forty Appeals at the last sittings, and the appellants had to travel from Armagh to Portadown.
§ MR. HAYES FISHERI was not aware of that, but it seems to point to the desirability of holding the sittings at Armagh in such a case.
