§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, at the June quarter sessions for County Longford, County Court Judge Curran complimented the Grand Jury on the peaceful state of the county; that at the summer 1529 assizes there was not one custody case for trial and practically no criminal business to be done; and, if so, whether, in these circumstances, he proposes to continue the application to the county of the clauses of the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act, 1887, now in force there.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe matter is engaging the consideration of the Government.
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLWhen may we have the fruit of the consideration?
§ MR. WYNDHAMWhen we reach the gap between the Committee and Report stages of the Irish Land Bill I will give personal attention to the matter.
