§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any reply has been made to the complaint of the Rev. J. Curry, P.P., Drogheda, that the head teacher of the school of which he is manager has been subjected by the new rules to a loss of £ a year; and if he can state how similar complaints from other clerical managers and teachers in Ireland have been dealt with.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI received a letter from Father Curry, dated October 30th, and sent him an acknowledgment. I have since made an exhaustive examination into the cases submitted. I cannot undertake, as a general rule, to correspond at length over questions of administration with which the National Board is charged by statute. But, as these cases are typical, I propose to send the result of my inquiry to the rev. gentleman.
