MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland where is Sergeant Sullivan, who was tried for perjury, now stationed; and what is his present rank in the Royal Irish Constabulary.
§ MR. WYNDHAMAt Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, with the rank of sergeant.
§ * MR. SPEAKERThe hon. Member will see that does not arise. The Question was where is he stationed, and what is his rank.
MR. PATRICK O'BRIENYes, Sir; but I understand that there are three grades of sergeant, and I want to know which is Sullivan's grade. Is it the same as when he was charged with perjury in the West of Ireland, or has he been promoted?
§ MR. WYNDHAMIf the hon. Member wants knowledge as to the distinctions in rank, he must put down a Question.
§ * MR. DELANYMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will promote Sullivan to the position of removable magistrate, for which he is eminently qualified?
